Default unicode font browser?

Often I want to see how a given text looks like in all the different fonts I
have installed.
Is there a font utility that

(1) allows the user to enter a sample text
(2) choose font size
(3) displays the sample text in all installed fonts simultaneously
(scrollable if necessary)
(4) works with unicode including CJK fonts

The "character map" that comes with vista doesn't do 1, 2, 3 above, but does
4.
Most font utilities written by individuals usually don't do 4.

Did you try Google or Bing?

if it was that easy I wouldn't have asked
It's impossible to search for all my criteria

This is a nice font viewer and it's free. I think it meets most of your
criteria. I've used it for a long time and it's the best one I've found.
Try it and see if you like it.
