The FONTTABLE package

The fonttable package enables you to print a table of the characters
in a font (a font table), and/or some example text, and/or individual
glyphs in a variety of settings.

This, in a package form, is a poor man's version of nfssfont.tex and
testfont.tex.

fonttable – Print font tables from a document

This is a package version of nfssfont.tex (part of the distribution); it enables you to print a table of the characters of a font and/or some text (for demonstration or testing purposes), from within a document. (Packages such as testfont and nfssfont.tex provide these facilities, but they run as interactive programs: the user is expected to type details of what is needed.)

Note that the package mftinc also has a \fonttable function; the documentation explains how avoid a clash with that package.
