Another neat font tool for the Terminal-ly impaired

I don't know AppleScript, but the
set the font_list to {"American Typewriter",...
line tells me that this script only returns a listing of those fonts - not all installed.

You are right, of course. Those look like the Mac OS X-installed fonts.

One could manually (and carefully) add to the script the names of additional fonts listed from one's ftxinstalledfonts list. I came up with over 350 in mine.

I wonder if there is a way to automatically integrate the ftxinstalledfonts list with the Font Sampler script. Afraid that's way beyond my ken.
