Both answers so far seem to me only allow you to view the font one by one, which involves a lot of clicking if you want to see each font on the system. Check out

Use ImageMagick to document font
http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/media/image/imagemagick/im03-ImageMagickAndFonts/ar01s02.html#Use_ImageMagick_to_document_font_1

for the 2 methods to document fonts via ImageMagick, one native, and one char-map way.

For example, to document all the fonts on the system, you can

slocate -ir '\.ttf$' | xargs -i echo 'convert {} /tmp/`basename {}`.gif' | sh

then print out the images.
