I haven't actually done this on ME yet, but it should be the same as any other Windows' system.

Start by opening Windows Explorer. Find the windows folder and double click on it. Now locate the fonts folder, and double click on that. You will now see every True Type font installed on your system. Double click on a font, and will open up in the Windows Font Viewer. On the viewer there is a print button, and I am sure you can guess the rest. If you have a lot of fonts this will take some time, but it is well worth the effort when you are deciding on which font to use, or discussing options with a client.

With Postscript fonts you do the same thing. the only difference is the location of the fonts, and with ATM, the viewer window.

Have fun, and if you get stuck... lemme know.
