Print Installed font list with preview for each font

If you wish to print (or see) a preview of your installed fonts under linux. I found this command myself:

Here is the All-in-One command, copy and paste all this in a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal):

(echo '<html><body>' && \
(fc-list | sed 's/\(.*\):.*/<font face="\1">\1<\/font><br>/') \
 && echo '</body></html>') > fonts.html
firefox fonts.html

Then Hit Enter.

This should open firefox and open fonts.html, by itself.

Otherwise, go to your user's directory and open fonts.html yourself.
