[Gimp-user] Quicker way to audition fonts?

[GerryPeters <forums gimpusers com>]

When I want to audition a font, I go to the text tool and select the text. Look
to the left for the font box and click on the Aa to see all the fonts. The Aa is
really not enough to tell whether I like the font. I then choose one and to view
the result I need to deselect the text. I have to go through all that again to
view a new font.

It's very hard to choose a font just looking at the Aa. Has anyone put together
a better font view where I can see a few words in every font, instead of the Aa?
or is there a better quicker way to audition fonts?
