Description Luca Daghino 2018-12-29 12:54:56 UTC 
Description:
Writer font preview is not working in last versions of libreoffice.
Tested on debian, mint, win10 with 5.2.7, 6.0.7 and 6.1.4.
Instead font preview in Calc is perfectly working.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write text
2.Open font name menu and hover the mouse on the various fonts
3.

Actual Results:
Nothing changes in the text

Expected Results:
I expect the font type to be seen (temporarily applied) in the text written, just like in Calc


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Nothing changes with opengl enabled

Dynamic preview of the affect on selection is available off the canvas in the Characters dialog.

Making similar changes live on the document canvas is too disruptive and would be a performance drag--deemed undesirable and as with the dupe => WF

Applying preview dynamicaly to a single cell in Calc use completely different framework with little performance impact--apples and oranges.
