How does a font look? To see a TrueType or bitmapped font on your screen, double-click the font’s icon to open it. A sample of that font appears (in three sizes for TrueType fonts and in the size you opened for bitmapped fonts).

You can also use the Key Caps desk accessory to examine fonts. See the documentation that came with your computer for instructions.
