How generate list of ALL fonts

(Would welcome suggestions on where to post this, already tried type-manager but no answers there, thanks)

Is there a simple way (or macro, or file included on disks of Adobe Pagemaker, Illustrator, etc.) for generating a sample of ALL fonts on my PC.

Long time ago used WordPerfect, which had a macro that printed a sample row of characters in every font (and every variationbold, italic) on my PC, in alphabetical order. Looked like this

-Agaramond Bold Italic:
aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ1234567890`~!@#$%^& *()_+-=:;,.?/\|<>[]{}

-Next font goes here, etc. etc.

This is really useful to print out and show a client his/her font options. Even better than a separate application, it would be great to be able to generate this in an everyday application like Word 2000?

Thanks

On a Windows 2000 box, click on Start->Settings->Control Panel, double-click on Fonts.

From there you have a list of all fonts on the system and may double-click on any of them to view a sample alphabet and version info.

This really isn't the right forum for this question. I think you also posted in the ATM/Type Windows forum, which is a good place for it.
