That's a good idea. Inspiration for a private project to delve into web design. I've done that with colors so I could see them all together at the same time. I could see using this as an idea/excuse to lurk along with database threads, too. I'm there in the "I just saw and in fact installed something but can't remember it for nothin' now" group. So I went searching again. Debian package "gwaterfall" That is, by natural default, instantly picking through my currently installed fonts under /usr/share/fonts. It presents the font in the various sizes available to that font. It's having a little trouble with some MathJax family fonts, but everything else seems to be displaying as expected. It beats my previous method which was to lay out a line of text in LibreOffice Writer then keep changing the font preference in the toolbar. *rather a pain but still effective alternative* :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA
