Taken awhile to get back to this but it is with success!
While searching for another application in the menus I discovered 'Font
Sampler'.
I does exactly what I wanted. I just ran it against a directory of 780
or .ttf files and got a .pdf document.
It appears to be part of the font-manager package.
Now to take some to find all the font files scattered across several
cloud locations, the local HD, and several CDs.
Thanks to all for your suggestions.
