This got me thinking a bit about UI and selecting fonts, and I really
don't think that most font names mean much to most users.  Personally
I generally know if I want a fixed width or proportional font, and
perhaps if I want serif or sans-serif or perhaps if I want a script
like font, but this doesn't help me select a font, and I still have to
click on all of them to see what they look like.

Perhaps designing a font selector that is based around what the fonts
'look' like might be something to consider?
