For a start, I suggest that you read the files displayed with
find `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`/doc \
-name Catalogue -prune -o -type f -print| grep font

Well, you could start with generating a sample for each tfm file. Others
have already pinted out that this does not catch all fonts, but it
catches most of them.
You could use something like this simple one-liner:
find `kpsexpand '$TEXMFMAIN'`/fonts/tfm -name '*.tfm' -print | sed '[EMAIL
PROTECTED]/@@; [EMAIL PROTECTED]@@' | xargs sh -c 'for i in "$@"; do (echo $i; echo
\\sample\\bye) | tex testfont; mv testfont.dvi $i.dvi; echo $i.dvi; done' sh

It would be nice to have a document wich lists the fonts and the relevant
macro packages to access them....
