Hi Oleg, George,

      http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/09/27/1636212

It's accurate enough, but it's a plain tex sort of article.  Many people
don't really want to see a few thousand tfm file names as the answer to
the question, "What fonts do I have?".

I suggest looking at http://tug.org/fonts/ (and the links thereon) for
human-written listing of the free fonts available for TeX.  Just about
all of them are in TeX Live, and probably other distributions too.

I don't know of any program which can look at an entire TeX installation
and create a sensible font chart showing what is available.  It would be
a nice thing to have.  Maybe someone here would like to write it?

Best,
Karl
