Hello:
I need a special font to edit a image.
I have hundreds of installed fonts, but I need to see examples of them all, to decide which one must I use.
Is there any program to see an example of all of them?
Thanks a lot.
If "yes", PLEASE, include al link to download and install it, THANKS

Hello pp4mnklinux.
You don't necessarily need a dedicated font-viewing application.
If it's for typing a message in a picture, mtpaint provides a font selector.
To activate it, run mpaint, load your picture, then click on the "T" icon on
the icon line underneath the drop-down menu line.
A panel will open showing on the left the fonts you have available
in /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF. The fonts you have in OTHER
directories will NOT show in this list.
In the middle of this panel, there is a place where to type your text and
preview its appearance. When satisfied, click on the "Commit" button
and it will be pasted on the picture. This panel also offers text color and text
direction features.
Save the result when finished, obviously.
A screen capture is provided.
IHTH.

I always thought there were those two 'default' apps in every Pup. Y'know; Menu->Desktop->Xfontsel font viewer or Gfontsel font viewer? Every Puppy has them 'built-in'.....
Or perhaps some of us have got so used to always looking for the complicated solutions that they've completely lost sight of the simple, obvious answers?
Why make life harder than it has to be, hm?

Also there is https://www.sttmedia.com/printmyfonts-download
I suggest to download PrintMyFonts for Linux as Portable Binary (1.68 MB)
No Installation required. Just unziip, open destination and click executable.
