We don't have such a command, but it could be written if needed.

However, you should really use the dedicated font tools for exploring

the fonts on your system, and Emacs is not such a tool.

It does, but only in general.

Could emacs describe (with a few examples) some good tools to help users define
the font they would want to use.
