Looking for Program to compare Fonts

Hello!
Might be a bit off topic, but i'm looking for a good program (shareware would be nice or low price) to compare my fonts collection. Right now i'm working with "Font Navigator", but i'm missing an option to compare selected fonts on one view. Means i find 20 interesting fonts for a project and then i can see them all on one page.
any ideas

There used to be a nice macro (in Word, in Works? in Publisher?) that allowed you to print a bit of text (defined by you) and it was repeated with every installed font.

Why, forgive me for asking, not print out a sample text with every font and use the print out as part of process to select font?

That way you could have a few favorite fonts in your "official" fonts folder and pull in the extra specials when required.

Too many forn in the fonts folder slows down your 'pooter (or so I understand).

A practical & pragmatic solution is to have the fonts split into 2 folders. The ones the 'pooter needs along with a few of your best used favorites.

The second font folder holding exotics that you use on rare occasions.

This should avoid a system slow down and have exotic fonts available when you need them

And the last /beta/ was in 1999. The author's really rushing things. 8-)

It looks useful, all the same.
