I mentioned a tip last week about comparing similar fonts with one another; by all means, I wasn't suggesting that you open up every single one of your fonts and compare all of them simultaneously. That's insane. However, if you really wanna do that, you might as well grab a decent font viewer to help you. You can get: ViewFont (http://www.oceris.com/viewfont/default.htm) is basic, but clean; ListFonts (http://www.cbpf.br/~marcoscm/listfonts/) is a little easier to use, and a bit more configurable; then there's IC Font, (http://www.iridis.com/dsabljic/products.html) which will tell you everything there is to know about any given font; and FontSelector (http://www.theill.com/fs/default.asp) is relatively rudimentary.
