No, not really. There are far too many font formats and locations to look for. A few of the things that may affect the places and formats the `font viewer' would have to check are: * Do you have PostScript fonts? * Do you have TrueType fonts? * Do you have a TeX installation? + Does it support OpenType or TrueType fonts? + Do you have bitmap TeX font collections? + What resolution do these bitmap fonts use? * Do you have bitmap X11 fonts? * etc.
