Illustrator doesn't list fonts in their own styles, and I find this slightly frustrating, but from the point of view of implementation and speed I dislike the idea of rendering all font names in their own face. A simple combo listing all available fonts is what most people are used to and it will suffice.
However, there are times when you're looking for a style of writing and it's painful to select each font individually. A preview box, either as a popup window or as a special toolbar (or toolbar button) would, IMO, be ideal. Perhaps both - the popup to display like a tooltip any font you linger on for more than 1s while scrolling through the combo, the toolbar [button] to display the currently-selected font.
