displaying fonts

[geezer]

Another question on fonts.

I have a CD with 827 True Type Fonts on it.

I can copy them over to my hard disk and install all of them.

But then when I go to choose a font, the list is overwhelming - TOO MANY.

I would like to go through the fonts and just copy over the ones that I find valuable.

Downloaded fontforge, but for viewing fonts it isn't any good.

Is there a font viewing program available, that would let me browse through a directory of fonts and view them??

Re: displaying fonts

There are other font viewers. You might look at gfontview (an older program).

Beautiful - EXACTLY what I needed.

The only font viewer I have seen that will display uninstalled fonts.

Great. Thanks,

Re: displaying fonts

Just found/stumbled on a very quick way to accomplish what I want.

Open the directory in Konqueror and pause the cursor on the font file name - Konqueror pops open a window with statics on the file and displays the font in various sizes.

A real quick way to view the fonts.!.!.!.!

And once again, another testimonial on the fact that with Linux, there is almost always more than one way to get something done!
