> Maybe the preview of the character properties dialog helps here.

Not sure how, although this made me notice that, while the character properties
dropdown updates the preview as you arrow up and down, the one in the main
window doesn't update the selected text as you do the same. You have to hit
enter but then the focus gets out of the selector widget, so you have to use
your mouse again. Maybe that's what you were referring to and maybe that's
another issue to address for the main window.

As I understand it, the blocking point is mainly that the toolbox can/should
only use regular widgets (e.g. a Combobox as GTK calls it), which I understand.

In that case, since other places in the UI have non-regular widgets/viewports,
e.g. the font preview in the Characters properties, maybe we could have a font
list with large previews there? The main idea of this issue is to not have to
see each font one by one but being able to see many fonts at once in all their
glory.
