How do I see font names before I install them?

Hi

I have a huge number of Fonts files from my old WindowsXP PC.
They all have short unhelpful names.
How can I see what their font names will be when I install them in Windows7 ?

Cheers

Have you tried to right click them and select "Preview" to see the fonts?

Win7 gives you the ability to preview the fonts, see the names, etc, and also gives you the ability to install them from the Preview.

As far as multiple fonts, you can select them all and do a Preview but it will open up multiple windows.

No, I mean I want to point at a directory with about 5,000 font in it and install all the Gill Sans ones for example!
