Many thanks for your proposal. We talked about this idea yesterday and some
questions remain.

* Simplicity
It is a huge control spawning over the whole screen but the use case is not to
see all. And search (type and filter the dropdown) replaces the need for a
large overview.

* Start from sidebar and withing dialogs doesnt work
Dropdown is not only located in the top left area but also in dialogs and at
the sidebar. The layout wont work on all positions.

* Scrolling unclear
Many columns mean you either scroll all, or each column individually, or you
scroll horizontally. Not defined in the mockup and yet quite complicate.

* Keyboard only usage not simple
Consider a keyboard only interaction where the user type Montse and presses
down and enter to get the font she is looking for. In your proposal either many
arrow steps or the mouse is needed.

* Slow generation of this grid
The grid with WYSYWIG font preview sounds like a challenge for performance.

If users would need such an overview we could alternatively add a deck to the
sidebar.
