So many fonts, so few used...

Printing a book of fonts- shareware or freeware for Mac advice needed...

I am on Mac Panther with Suitcase X1 managing about 1800 fonts. I'd like to print a book with 8 or so fonts on a page in an exemplar paragraph for all of my fonts, automatically. Since I hope to only do this once, I would prefer not to spend a fortune on software. And advice is much appreciated.

You already have the software, it comes with Suitcase. Look for 'LemkeSoft FontBook' on your disc.

Yeah, it only prints full page samples-- I don't want an 1800 page book.

miss tea, look at the layouts menu. In particular 'Multi 1x8' which is what you asked for (except for your exemplar paragraph).
Aside: Whatever happened to 'The quick brown fox'? The 'Christine, blood red, fat and finned, was twenty' is useless if you want examples of each character.
