Is this still a problem?

For me, the dropdown shows just fine. It pops up further to the left than shown in attachment 175363 [details].

Win WDM backend is bug 150524
Comment 8 V Stuart Foote 2024-08-12 04:54:58 UTC
The 1024px x 768px project supported display resolution *is* dependent on the scaling factor of Desktop Environment, i.e. WDM on Windows. 

So at 100% scale factor the full height of the Font list box is just 675px and will fit within an 800px display height.

Such that if the DE, or just the font, is scaled it can overflow an 800px display.

Reduce DE/font scaling to 100%, it will fit.

And alternatively, as work around within LibreOffice open Tools -> Options -> View 'Font Lists' section--uncheck the 'Show previews of fonts'.

With that both the Standard Toolbar's 'Font Name' list box  and the Sidebar's 'Properties' deck Character font list box are adjusted (same widget). And disabling the font preview will limit the toolbox height.

Believe commit https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/171966/2 for bug 150524 should also be helpful here. Affected users please check a post 2024-08-17 nightly build of master against 25.2.0
