FontDoc
One day I got very sick of maintaining samples of my 300 fonts by hand. So I wrote this.
FontDoc makes a plain old Rich Text document full of all your fonts. Save it, print it, or just gaze at it rapturously. Whatever. The possibilities are undoubtedly endless. Oh, and did I mention the fonts don’t even have to be installed to do all this?
Fifteen years later, and Font Book still doesn’t do any of this. Enjoy, dear denizens of Macdom.

(Version 1.3; 736 KB)
Requires Mac OS 10.10 or later, probably.
Note that Apple will try to terrify you with dire warnings about my being an unidentified developer. This is secret code for “I declined to pay Apple $99 every year just to take away the scary warning on my non-revenue-generating utility.” Just say no to protection rackets. Here’s how to avoid the Apple Mafia.
For Ye Olden Versions of Mac OS, here’s version 1.2.1 for Mac OS 10.2+
Note: Corrupted fonts may crash the Apple code upon which FontDoc relies. If you are experiencing problems, please use Font Book to validate your fonts.
