Right now, not really.
The correct fix would be to enhance packagekit so it displays font previews
(that's what the average user would expect)

http://bugzilla.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18928

(people need to add their voice here or it will remain an obscure RFE few
people asked for)

A manpower-heavy short-term workaround would be for someone to generate
previews for all the fonts and add them to the Fedora wiki
