Re: Linux equivalent of Apple's fontbook
Thanks for all the suggestions. I have looked at them all. At this stage it seems that gwaterfall and fonttable (which I discovered after my initial question) are more useful for me.

The package provides commands to typeset a table of all the glyphs in a given font and to typeset an example of regular text. For font designers it provides commands to typeset a ‘test’ glyph among sets of glyphs from the font. https://ctan.math.illinois.edu/macros/latex/contrib/fonttable/fonttable.pdf -- The superintendent and the gang bosses all turned out with revolvers in black holsters strapped around their waists and one of them made a speech in English and another one Sicilian saying that this was a squareshooting concern that had always treated laborers square and if they didn’t like it they could get the hell out. --John Dos Passos, 1919 (second book of U.S.A. trilogy)

I was using LyX and it shows the fonts and shapes (how chars would look like) AFAIR. Otherwise you may look for a good command to print the font (in a ghostscript or pdf file), but I don't have such command at hand. you can also check: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/examples/using-the-free-linux-libertine-fonts-in-latex/rhcnysrwsjmn#.W04oGJ19hhE

AFAICT you get the lot, not just LaTeX fonts. Cheers, David.

There's a TeX file whithin your texlive distribution (Debian's TeX comes as texlive these days) called fontsmpl.tex: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tools/fontsmpl.tex Its documentation is in /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/tools/fontsmpl.pdf provided you've installed the texlive-latex-base-doc package. Otherwise you can access that online e.g. here: http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/tools/fontsmpl.pdf Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

Linux equivalent of Apple's fontbook
On Debian, how do I see what all the characters in a LateX font like Linux Libertine O look like? Fontbook on OS X is a very good program to exactly see what a font looks like. Regards Johann -- Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. (Psalm 63:3)
