Isn't someone already working on a font previewer somewhere out there? How hard
would it be to make that previewer also install the fonts that it previews in
X or ghostscript? (assuming that it doesn't already do this) The end product
would be kind of a xfontsel/install/preview app, which would just make sense.

PS. Did this remind anyone else of the Font/DA mover on really old Macs?
