(In reply to Bastián Díaz from comment #4)
Please consider GtkFontChooserDialog elements
(https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFontChooserDialog.html) to be
included in the fonts list or character dialog.

-Neutral sentence to font preview: The font preview through its name is very
ineffective. For example, the Tinos font, only available 5 characters to
preview, on the other hand, it is more difficult to compare with other fonts.

As it is likely only gtk3, it wouldnt be a solution that would work everywhere
and the better solution would be to have live preview of the font change with
the text in the document rather for an arbitrary sentence in a dialog. I used
to use standalone apps on Windows that used to provide this features. (

-Better search engine: In gtkfontchooserdialog, to write "mono" appear all
font containing that word, In LO Writer instead on only appears the font
that starts with this word (assumes that you know the exact name of the
fonts installed on your system).

Definitely a nice feature to have of filtering out the font list. Would suggest
that you suggest this in another enhancement bug report, as it is outside of
the scope of this one.

Another important element is the document fonts (embedded or used in the
document). In the case of not being installed on the system, marked as "not
available".

Bug 78186.
