The field is definitely too short to display the full names of fonts.

  Example: 'Linux Libertine Display G' gets truncated to
           'Linux Libertine Dis'.

The issue here is what to do with long names? Display the font name smaller?
Widen the font field?

This is one for the UX Masters to address:
Component -> ux-advise
Status -> NEW
