Get IrfanView, and plunk this batch file in the dir with i_view32.exe:

:: Copy & paste, then rename to file.bat

<pre>

@echo off

if exist i_view32.exe (

 for %%a in (%windir%fonts*.ttf) do (

  i_view32.exe %%a /convert=c:%%~na.gif)

 )

) else echo.Not found&pause>nul&exit

</pre>

:: end copy

It will convert all the files in your font folder to preview pictures, and put the pictures in C:

This is a bit off topic, but having so many fonts could slow down your PC somewhat. What I did when I realized that I had so many fonts was to get some kind of software (like akFontViewer), that lets me see what all my fonts look like, choose which ones I did not want at the time, and then simply remove them from the Fonts folder.

I didn't delete them from my computer though. I moved them to a separate folder on my hard drive which I called "Uninstalled Fonts", and then I compressed it with WinRAR. Font files do compress by about 50%. The reason I didn't permanently delete them was just in case I ever needed them again, I would know where to look.
