Mark D Lew responded to my comment:
but this is not quite accurate. The website <www.identifont.com>
provides a means of comparing (and finding where to purchase)
typefaces: type the name of the font in the box, and a sample of the
face is shown, along with where it can be purchased, and the names of
similar faces.

I've used Identifont before, but if it has a panel that shows what
collection of glyphs a font provides, I haven't found it.
I suppose it may depend upon how large a sample of the font one wishes
to view. On the home page, under "Find a font", if one types the name
of the font in the box, one is taken to a page which shows a collection
of fonts which match the entry, with a sample of the font. Thus, if one
types "bodoni" one comes to the page
<http://www.identifont.com/find?font=bodoni&q=Go> showing a specimen of
the face Bodoni (letters, numerals, and punctuation, but not pairs),
plus in the left hand frame, a list of sixty-four other fonts with
"bodoni" in the name. Clicking on any one of these shows a similar
specimen.
