If you use `icicle-font', the total number is shown in the mode line (of
*Completions*). When you type in the minibuffer, the number of fonts matching
your input is shown there, updated as you type.
So, for example, if I type `Arial' and hit S-TAB, I see `84 candidates' in the
mode line, since I have 84 variations of Arial family fonts on my machine. If I
type `Arial.*bold S-TAB', I see `33 candidates', since I have 33 bold Arial
fonts.

Right.
With `icicle-font' you can apply any number of the fonts (using `C-RET'
`C-mouse-2', or cycling with `C-down') to see what they look like, then hit
`C-g' to return to the font you started with. If you hit RET instead of `C-g',
then the font change remains (is not undone).
Another difference of `icicle-font' from `x-list-fonts' (which, as Thierry
guessed) `icicle-font' uses as a starting point), is that the fonts listed have
the same pixel size as the original font of the frame.
That is, Icicles transforms the font specs listed by `x-list-fonts', so the
candidates all have the same size as the original font. If the frame's default
font has size 12, then they will all have size 12. So when you choose a font the
size doesn't change, and you don't have multiple fonts to choose from that
differ only in size (too noisy).
