Only Calc has this live preview feature with the combobox. Doesn't work with Writer. And there is two bugs with calc live preview with the combobox, so maybe oneday it would be disactivated, or enabled/disabled by the user (if someone want to fix these problems)... > And, you do know that you can simply highlight any representative text then > open the Character... dialog and directly review how that text is rendered, > right? Applicable in any of the modules. That's true, I didn't know it was possible to personnalize the lorem ipsum that way. Therefore the feature already exist, in calc and writer. Please don't break it! Just a comment: this is only single line. Maybe it could go on 2 lines so we can see the interference between the two lines (with ascenders and descenders)... > Placing user configurable strings into the fontlist box widget would force > the widget even wider than its two column format (of font name and generated > sample where applicable). UX of blocking UI and document canvas. That's true, but the combobox list in Writer recover already the document, so can't see a lot already... > > Possibly an *optional* alternative of displaying user string(s) in a > mouseover/kb focus tooltip popup for the font combobox might be functional, > but it seems awfully contrived.
