Busybox shell script:

#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT=${0##*/}
DIR='/usr/share/fonts'
OUTFILE=$HOME/fontview.html
cat <<EOT -- >$OUTFILE
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" value="text/html" />
<charset="UTF-8" />
<style type="text/css">
div {
border-bottom: 1px dotted silver;
}
div > span:nth-child(1) {
display: inline-block;
width: 15em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div></div>
EOT
OIFS=$IFS
IFS=$'\n'
fc-list | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq | while read font; do
echo -e "\t\t<div><span>$font</span><span style=\"font-family: $font\">$font</span></div>\n" >>$OUTFILE
done
IFS=$OIFS

Make text file, save it with name inf_fonts.desktop to folder ~/.local/share/applications (note this folder is hidden):

[c][Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=‪Font testing page
Comment=Infinality Project's Font testing page
Exec=tazweb http://www.infinality.net/files/font.html
TryExec=tazweb
Icon=fonts
Categories=Utility;[/c]
Now click: Menu → Utility → Font testing page

You can choose between your installed fonts & various sizes & different unicode pages.

Note: Font list is generated by little (1 KB) SWF applet, if you haven't Flash plugin, you need to input font family names manually (tested with SliTaz Rolling).
