Both answers so far seems to me only allows you to view the font one by one, which involves a lot of clicking if you want a sample of each font on the system. Check out Use ImageMagick to document font http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/media/image/imagemagick/im03-ImageMagickAndFonts/ar01s02.html#Use_ImageMagick_to_document_font_1 for the 2 methods to document fonts via ImageMagick, one native, and one char-map way. For example, to document all the fonts on the system, you can slocate -ir '\.ttf$' | xargs -i echo 'convert {} /tmp/`basename {}`.gif' | sh HTH -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
