About:
gfontview is a GTK+ font viewer for PostScript Type 1 and TrueType fonts. It allows you to display any character or string in a particular font as well as all glyphs present in it. It supports antialiasing and kerning. It can also print font samples and font catalogs.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
GNOME support, a fix for glyphs with no width, code reordering, new encodings in Type1 fonts, new character map information in TrueType properties, showing baselines (in x) and origin (in y) for better showing of glyph positioning in the fontmap, the font table for TT fonts is no longer a notebook, and drag & drop support that works with GNOME and KDE2.

On the home page it says this needs GNOME,
this not a plain GTK+ font viewer?
