“We were talking about fonts again on IRC, and how there really
isn’t any decent font viewer on Linux that lets you group fonts
into categories.

“Any time you need to choose a font — perhaps you know you need
one that’s fixed-width, script, cartoony, western-themed — you
have to go through your entire font list, clicking one by one on
hundreds of fonts and saving the relevant ones somehow so you can
compare them later. If you have a lot of fonts installed, it can
take an hour or more to choose the right font for a project.”
