Does somebody know script which match camera to (camera perpendicular looking to faces) selected faces ???

Don’t know if one already existed, but I wrote a quick one for you. Simply select the face and then run the script.

import Blender
from Blender import Object, Scene, Draw, Window, Constraint

###########################################################
distance = 10 # distance between camera and selected face #
###########################################################

objects = Object.GetSelected()
camera = Scene.GetCurrent().getCurrentCamera()
if len(objects)==0:
    Draw.PupMenu("Error%t|No object selected")
elif not camera:
    Draw.PupMenu("Error%t|No camera in scene")
else:
    object = False
    for i in objects:
        if i.getType()=='Mesh' and object == False:
            object = i
    if not object:
        Draw.PupMenu("Error%t|No mesh selected")
    else:
        mesh = Blender.Mesh.Get(object.getData(name_only=True))
        editmode = False
        if Window.EditMode():
            editmode = True
        Window.EditMode(0)
        faces = mesh.faces.selected()
        if len(faces)==0:
            Draw.PupMenu("Error%t|No face selected")
        else:
            face = faces[0]
            loc = Blender.Mathutils.Vector(object.getLocation('worldspace'))
            cent = mesh.faces[face].cent*object.getMatrix('worldspace')
            locface = loc+cent
            
            normal = mesh.faces[face].no*object.getMatrix('worldspace')
            normal_offset = normal*distance
            
            newloc = locface+normal_offset
            camera.setLocation(newloc)
            
            try:
                empty = Object.Get('perpendicular_face')
            except:
                empty = Object.New('Empty','perpendicular_face')
                Scene.GetCurrent().link(empty)
            empty.setLocation(locface)

            constraint = False
            if len(camera.constraints)>0:
                for i in camera.constraints:
                    if i.type==2 and i[Constraint.Settings.TARGET] == empty and i[Constraint.Settings.TRACK] == 5 and i[Constraint.Settings.UP] == 1:
                        constraint = True
            if not constraint:
                camera.constraints.append(2)
                index = len(camera.constraints)-1
                camera.constraints[index][Constraint.Settings.TARGET] = empty
                camera.constraints[index][Constraint.Settings.TRACK] = 5
                camera.constraints[index][Constraint.Settings.UP] = 1

        if editmode:
            Window.EditMode(1)
        Blender.Redraw()
