FontDoc
One day I got very sick of maintaining samples of my 300 fonts by hand. So I wrote this. I'm anticipating great rewards when it comes time to pick the perfect font for the titles in my next iMovie.
The document this program produces is a plain old Rich Text document full of all your fonts. Save it, print it, or just gaze at it rapturously. Whatever. The possibilities are undoubtedly endless.
Hopefully FontDoc will be rendered obsolete by something in a future version of Font Book. Until then, it's yours, dear denizens of Macdom.

crash the Apple code upon which FontDoc relies. If you are experiencing
problems, please use Font Book to validate your fonts. You should also
