How to display many fonts?

[Jon_King]

I have a customer asking us to display many pc .ttf fonts on screen as samples for downloading. You can see this on many sites that offer free fonts. How do they do it?

Thanks,
Jon

There are several modules for Perl (GD, ImageMagik) and I think there is a built in function in PHP that allows use of fonts on generated graphic images.

You can then write a simple script that will generate pictures with different fonts.
