What you are proposing is slightly different; associating sample
images with individual fonts.
How would you prefer this to work? Either we create a separate
uploader for images, or OFLB can automatically display any image files
inside the zip.

Is OFL now making any use of sample images? I made one for my Eadui
font (just re-submitted--a new version, so don't restore the old one),
but I couldn't see where it might actually be used. If they are used,
are there any guidelines for filenames?

You mean like example uses of the font in real world? That would be
very good provenance building tool.
On openclipart we were thinking to implement something like this,

Last week I started a new quarter of teaching designing for digital
