Font viewer for NOT installed fonts

Is there any application for browsing through my not installed fonts collection?
I tried several apps but they are just unusable and very, very slow. Any ideas?
(OSX apps of course :)

Font Agent Pro . It even cleans up and reorganizes your font collection.

I've been very pleased with it but they were a bit slow catching up to Tiger. Other than that, flawless.

Linotype will do what you want and a lot more besides. It's a full on font manager with an iTunes like interface. Check it out:

I am already using Fontexplorer X. Maybe I wasn't clear on the question. How can I check out a CD crowded with fonts WITHOUT installing them? I don't want to import 3000 fonts into Fontexplorer. I just want a little app, which can open a folder with fonts and quickly showing them to me. Then I can decide what to import and what not. Any solution?

Hmm there was an app called X Font Info I believe...
