Quickly preview all your installed fonts online
Looking for a fast, easy way to preview the fonts you have installed on your computer? It doesn't get much easier than visiting Flipping Typical.
Head over to the site and within seconds it will render a table of all your typefaces. Initially the preview text will read "flipping typical," but you can delete it and enter whatever you like. To swap the primary font at the top of the page, simply click on the one you'd like to view full size. You can also switch the previews to bold and italics via hotkeys (control-b and control-i respectively).
Flipping Typical should work just fine on Windows and OSX with just about any browser except IE6.

Cool Idea, but it missed a lot of fonts on my computer.

It might not work perfectly with the Vista/7 kernel. There are so many locks in place it's hard to delete/hack, move or read Windows files. There are so many fonts but I only use just a few. This is a nice tool to find out just what font you do have. I think this is more of a fun thing.

Vista x64 + Firefox = it displayed perhaps 1/4 of my fonts

if it doesn't show your fonts you can type in the name of it at the top and see it then it shows up on your list. Kinda defeats the purpose though if you are searching for a font not just listing it.

It also does not show the fonts in any discernible order.
