From the README

The fonttable package enables you to print tables (full and partial) of 

the characters in a font, and/or some example text.

(As far as I am aware all the other font table printers are interactive stand-alone TeX documents. This is a package so it can be used in any LaTeX document.)

i've installed the new package, and updated the catalogue.

thanks for the upload: it's really pretty surprising that of all the myriad font-table programs, there has (as far as i can tell) never been one designed to use as a package, until now.
