font previews comparison

(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #11)
> And what exactly would you like to change? Is it too large?

No, to me it looks too small (once more).

> Do you mean the collapsed drodpown or the expanded list?

Not sure what the question is. I mean the dropdown list we see in both our
screenshots.

> To enter a value for the size of one UI is probably not a solution to any problem.

You say "one UI" as if this dropdown was like any other. GNOME's Font manager
displays each font in all sizes at once to allow the user to preview a font at
their desired size. Blender (my preferred way to preview fonts) shows
resizeable previews which can get much larger than LO's dropdown (see
attachment).

I can certainly understand how developing such a feature can be complicated for
performance or code rewriting reasons, but I don't understand the mindset that
letting the user control how to preview fonts without affecting the rest of the
interface is "not a solution" to the problem.
