I'm not sure why this should be part of either of those apps. A screenshot is marginally useful, but how do you give a good idea of how the font works in different weights, sizes, and with different text (particularly those fonts with good Unicode coverage)? I think it's sub-optimal to say the least. What you really want is a font store which has functionality like this: http://code.google.com/webfonts/preview#font-family=Cantarell Packagekit is a great way of getting the RPM which has the font and installing it on the system. I don't know if the font RPMs are of much use before then, because by the time you have a system that can allow you to put your own text in and actually see what the font looks like, you pretty much have the font already. I think this actually ought to be a web-based service on the Fedora servers. You can use the web-font stuff to do a really good font browser, and there is already the ability to click on RPMs and install them via Packagekit if you want the RPM.
