None, actually. I'm using WindowMaker as my wm without Gnome/KDE/XFCE...

Good idea. I just installed gnome-specimen wich is great for viewing and
comparing fonts. I also found the "opcion" font viewer on the internet (a Java
cross-platform free application) but since it isn't in Debian repositories,
and the webpage doesn't say if it works with OpenType , I didn't try to
install it. gnome-specimen does the job anyway.
