The best way for a user to select a font is to show it to him.
For this reason font sites commonly provide bitmap preview images or so-called
specimen files (typically in PDF form) that showcase the font capabilities.

Packagekit should do the same.
The image should be a pangram

in the main unicode blocks the font supports
The specimen may include unicode coverage info, glyph table, etc
