Does there exist some kind of local bulk font preview tool?

Lately I use this font set for everything, and love it: https://ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pack

Buuuut filtering to find the one I want is always a huge pain, since obviously I'm not gonna install all 1200+

So I ended up finding 3 options:

Fontmatrix (old, not really an option unless you want to build it yourself, but I wish someone would pick it back up again)

https://fontba.se/ - FontBase, a free tool for Win/Mac/Linux that has a VERY stupid recurring revenue model so just ignore that cus lol

https://github.com/FontManager/font-manager - FontManager, exactly what I wanted, but no Windows build 😭

So basically I'm on FontBase until I switch to Linux, I guess, but yay! options!

@glassbottommeg Yeah, I'm tempted to try updating Fontmatrix. I'm familiar with Python/Qt development, and it's still my favorite out of these apps... but porting to newer Python and Qt are both difficult, and I have yet to successfully upgrade both on a project. (Otherwise my old PyQt browser, Coconut, would still be in daily use)
