Font Wizard does indeed display even my uninstalled fonts which gives it a big advantage over the other also-rans but then, for some reason, it has not been given the privilege of any preferences, leaving all font names forever displayed WYSIWYG in the left hand table, which is absolutely useless since actual appearance is already as visible as can be, in the right hand field where it is needed.
Also, it would be so helpful if a font could just be drag-and-dropped into the utility but no, one must use a clumsy menu command. Sigh.
I would gladly pay $100 for a font utility that does it all. These are pesky little files that need better management than Apple gives us. I have 50,000 of them and am seriously handicapped by the inability to manage them in a sensible way. Just about the only thing that keeps me alive these days is the dream that somewhere, somehow, sometime, a hero will emerge and fill this glaring void. Alas, Font Wizard is not the answer. Not yet, anyway.

For previewing installed and uninstalled fonts, Font Pilot (http://www.bkeeney.com/products/fontpilot) does the job well enough - though you have to select fonts to display them. This function works very well in conjunction with Default Folder X, which will display the fonts you highlight without opening them in the Font Pilot window. Font Pilot is reasonably priced, in my opinion, at $15.95 and is available from the developer rather than the Mac App Store, if that makes a difference. A demo is available. While it is not a font manager, it handles the issue you seem to be most concerned about.
Combined, FontExplorer X and Font Pilot come in under the $100 target you mention.
