font plugin or client

I'm just wondering if there is a font client that can be downloaded. I like to see my fonts in their respective fonts like in Microsoft Word and I haven't been able to acheive this in Photoshop yet. I'm not sure if it would be a Photoshop plug-in or an external client. Thanks for your help.

I know this is a retarded answer, but usually I open an application that doesnt take up much resources and use it to browse fonts. Flash is a good one.

There are freeware apps that you can use to print out all of your fonts, which ones I will have to look into it a bit when I get home. Having a notebook with all your fonts printed out is really handy.

Extensis Suitcase - www.extensis.com

You can browse all your fonts in realtime..you can select which ones to turn on temporarily if you want to use them...you can organize them into "sets" (aka suitcases) and you can also type your own text into the program and instanly see what it looks like with every font. I live by this program. Its pricless (not meaning free) Best font program by far.

I think it has a demo you can download.

Another way is the select your text (In PS) press CTRL+H (Makes the selection dissapear) click on the font selection box, and scroll through them with your mouses wheel or with the keyboard.
