The Sinhala Font Testing Page (Beta) is a tool primarily intended for our internal font testing purposes. But is is can be used by type designers and independent foundries to 'Drag and Drop' their work in progress into a browser and test Sinhala fonts. It can also be used by art directors, graphic designers, teachers and students interested in seeing how a typeface works on the web.
The testing texts for Sinhala script is not developed, properly, so the text samples are just public domain text for now.
