Taken awhile to get back to this but it is with success! While searching for another application in the menus I discovered 'Font Sampler'.
I does exactly what I wanted. I just ran it against a directory of 780 or .ttf files and got a .pdf document. It appears to be part of the font-manager package. Now to take some to find all the font files scattered across several cloud locations, the local HD, and several CDs. Thanks to all for your suggestions.
