Consider making it possible to choose fonts #12

After reading the Anatomy of a Typeface lesson in Better Web Typography, I noticed that the author talks about how different fonts have different levels of contrast:

Figure 19: Contrast is also a major contributing factor to how “heavy” a typeface looks like. Merriweather is a low-contrast typeface, while Bodoni is a high-contrast one. Take a closer look at each letter strokes. The difference is obvious.

I wonder if it'd be useful to take this into account somehow in the palette builder.

For instance, in the "type specimens" in the color matrix, might it be useful to allow the user to choose a typeface to use, so that they can see what it looks like in given color combinations.

Thoughts @ericronne?
