command line ("batch") operation

I wish ALL functionality of gfontview would be
scriptable via commandline options, much like
ImageMagick is. That would save hundreds of mouse
operations. E.g., compare the lowercase e of some
fonts (note: in different directories):
% gfontview --character 65 --size 120
{Minion,Palatino}/*-Regular.pfb
Or write a font sample file:
% foreach font (`find . -name \*.pfb`)
? gfontview --sample -o ~/samples/$font.ps --size 24
--spacing 1.0
? end
And so forth. Note that the first example would
bring up the gtk interface, while the second one
would operate in "batch" mode.
