Hmm, not sure it is needed. The "preview" can be disabled, allowing font name (or "representative text") to fit. Done from Tools -> Options -> View: Font Lists and the "Show preview of fonts" checkbox.

And though probably not needed, a size selector for the font previews could be added to that area of the View panel.

Yes you can disable the font preview but even with that the font name could be long.
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2018-06-17 06:58:50 UTC
The size of this control is adjusted to have a reasonable number of icons on the toolbar and not exceed 1280px width. So we cannot enlarge it neither we have the widget to make it user resizeable. What we could do is to add the font name to the tooltip, but that's likely not what you want.
