Google Fonts used to have this great feature where I can select a number of fonts and view them all on a single page. It was super useful because I can type in any text and preview the text in these selected fonts.

However, I can't seem to find this feature any more. Right now if I select fonts, they just show up in the sidebar. But I can preview them in any way.

There's gotta be something that I missed?

After you selected a few, you can review your selection in the Share page.

For example, https://fonts.google.com/share?selection.family=Akaya%20Teli...

Wow, thank you! Why in the hell would they hide such a useful feature?

It still totally works that way on Google Fonts homepage, nothing has changed.

The icons page is just a separate page that works differently from the rest of the fonts.
