From you posting, you use Mac, correct?

I am not using Mac, but there has to be some font viewer available for Mac.

What are you looking to do with it?

I know that LO has a font charting display for "insert special
character" that look good.

If you want to print a character chart for a selected font, well most
font managers I have seen does that to some degree.

As for the KDE option - KFontView
I also use Fontmatrix on Ubuntu.

I use a paid software on Windows to get what I want though - MainType.
