How do I see what a font looks like before I use it?

[Kim Paul]

I'm looking for a way to see what a font looks like... perhaps by creating a
hard copy folder of fonts that I can use. Short of buying a book with
examples, is there a means by which to print out the fonts as they would
appear and that are available on my computer?
