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.
