The listbox widget has two states--collapsed with a font selection (with or
without a preview rendering), or the full expanded droplist of multiple fonts
with their "sample" text (font name or representative string).

One UI widget within LibreOffice, obviously.

Project made a dev decision to hand over widget controls to the os/DE,
stripping out ability to scale some selection of "individual" widget elements.
That was done to improve integration with emerging os/DE and their roll of
consistent handling of HiDPI displays. Doing "other" things require an
agreement to diverge from os/DE norms and the dev effort to work up a frame
work to support it consistently cross platform. 

As explained in bug 101646, which this really is a duplicate to, some
components of the UI benefit from ability to selectively scale compared to what
os/DE provides.
