How to display X fonts with a typographical font sample

How to display X fonts with a typographical font sample

[Leo]

Hi there

This is probably an X beginners question.

I want to see the fonts which are installed on my X system. I tried  
xlsfonts, but as a command line tool it only lists the *names* of the  
fonts not a *font sample*.

Hoe do I get a list of the fonts with some text written in that  
particular font? is there an X program for this?

Many thanks, Leo

Now I can answer the question myself: %-)

xfd and xfontsel display font typefaces at least individually. Didn't 
find a way yet to display a list of fonts in the typeface, but 
this is better than nothing
