If you happen to have CorelDraw 8, it came with Bitstream Font Navigator. You can view by True Type, PostScript or all formats. You can also view by style: Decorative, Monospaced, Sans Serif, Script, Serif, Symbol or all styles. There is no extra popups to see the actual text (like Adobe Type Manager). The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog is their sample text which can be changed to any text you want. Sample text can be to fit or can specify size. You can select to add fonts or remove fonts (drag and drop). It also scans your drives for all fonts. It shows all the fonts on your computer and shows the fonts that are already installed.

If you happen to be like me, I have the maximum allowable number of fonts or very near maximum. Printing them out would take forever.
