What I've done when I've been adding new fonts is create a sample sheet,
using the existing ghostscript sample sheet...
I've written myself a script to make sample sheet postscript files for
all the fonts on my system -- here's the line inside the loops that does
the work:
echo /${fname} DoFont | \
gs -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=${fname}.ps `locate prfont.ps`
where $fname is the proper name of the font and "prfont.ps" is the
sample-font file which comes with ghostscript, which expects a font-name
as input.
You can then view the resultant postscript file with gv, or print it
out. It's usually three pages long, shows every character in the font.
