I do a lot of typography work for design presentations and it seems like i'm always cycling through my fonts over and over again in an attempt to find a good one. Is there some kind of app that will go through my font folder and make a reference chart of what all my fonts look like in different sizes and styles (bold, italic, etc)??

If you just need to view the fonts onscreen, you might want to look at PC Magazine's FontViewer (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2270853,00.asp) (also useful for searching through your fonts and such).
Also found AMP Font Viewer (http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/FontViewer.php) which looks like it does similar things (and more).
Note: I haven't used either program, so I can't vouch on how good they really are, but they could be worth a shot to try.

I like NexusFont from http://www.xiles.net/.
Portable, too!

hey guys. those all look exactly like what i was looking for. MM34, your suggestion even has an "export to image file" option so I'll prob end up using that but i'll try to post a comparison if i get a chance. as always you guys are awesome. thanks so much!
