Over at MyFonts, Nick’s incredible interface is not only for buying fonts, but a jumping off portal for font cataloging and research. At the bare minimum, I like to use my own RSS feed for previews.

‘For less than the price of a design textbook, a student can now have a sturdy and contemporary humanist sans serif family that fits pretty much any design application, and will remain useful long after academic studies and well into a professional career in design.’
