How do I view fonts?

How can I view font files, like .ttf, in Linux? I'd like to see a sample of the font (quick brown fox...) and metadata about it (like exact name).

Is the question about only TTF or was that only an example? (1 comment)

I use KDE with Slackware -current so: KDE Plasma Version 5.27.3 and this has a quite serviceable Font Manager that can be found from:

System Settings --> Appearance --> Font Management

But I would advise at least a quick look at a great font manager called FontBase:

This works nicely on my system and has many more features that the stock font management tool. It can be downloaded and run easily enough as an AppImage created by the developers, linked here...

Fontbase looks really nice! I see that it is freeware, but I think it's not open source, right? (2 comments)

Indeed, I could not find the source...
