Can you provide examples of such font viewers? I haven't seen, for example, a font viewer for Linux that can do these things.

I use Fontmatrix and FontManager. They are called font managers, but as far as I can tell, and as I use them, they are Linux font viewers with other capabilities built in.

On a Mac, TextEdit and Pages built-in typography console let you play with all major font settings. One thing nobody has mentioned yet is that sometimes seriously pro font files have "all-caps" punctuation that's slightly higher to match all-caps text. Some also have numbers at small-cap height (not text figures, which go up and down above x-height).
