No, not really.

There are far too many font formats and locations to look for.  A few of
the things that may affect the places and formats the `font viewer'
would have to check are:

  * Do you have PostScript fonts?

  * Do you have TrueType fonts?

  * Do you have a TeX installation?

    + Does it support OpenType or TrueType fonts?

    + Do you have bitmap TeX font collections?

    + What resolution do these bitmap fonts use?

  * Do you have bitmap X11 fonts?

  * etc.
