Would be nice if you could easily view the full Unicode gamut of a font, if you could see a dired-style directory of available fonts (including a brief sample of each) and select one to view, if you could pick the current font and point size either from the directory or the font sample buffer itself...

You mean to show all the characters supported by the given font?

if you could see a dired-style directory of available fonts (including a brief sample of each) and select one to view,

I think this can be done to look similar to the output of 'list-faces-display'.

if you could pick the current font and point size either from the directory or the font sample buffer itself...

I will define a command to preview a font among those installed on the system. It will use minibuffer completion.

Yes!

Or maybe even a sequence where (if Roman letters are supported by the font) each font listed in itself?

Nice!
