Not sure if it counts, but gnome-font-viewer might fit the bill.

You can probably run something like gnome-font-viewer /usr/share/fonts/open-sans/OpenSans-Regular.ttf and it should show you the font, although I haven’t verified that myself.

Here are it’s dependencies:

$ dnf repoquery --requires gnome-font-viewer

It does also let you view fonts installed on your system, but I don’t see why that should be a deal-breaker.

There is also the display command, provided by ImageMagick. My understanding is that it only supports X11, but it should work just fine under XWayland.

Yeah, I just had some misconceptions Xorg and X11. A few googling sessions later I’m all caught up though, I think.

Thank you for pointing that out in a calm way, on the internet.

Gotta make everything into a conspiracy theory huh?

When was that ever a thing?

This is one of the most useful things in Xorg, and prior to that in X11.

X11 is the last version of Xorg, not sure what you meant there.

Make it configurable, if you must, but leave us old timers work the way we have done for 30 years or more.

It was configurable and will stay configurable. The intent is to change the default.

Personally I support the change, but that might be because of my adhd making me click on the mouse wheel every 0.1 seconds.

Please don’t fuck a gnome, that’s very impolite
