If I were able to preview each typeface in the list, it would be easier to
select the desired typeface for web pages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open preferences.
2. Go to Appearance > Fonts.
3. Click the pull-down list for Serif typefaces.
Actual Results:  
All listings appear in the same typeface.

Expected Results:  
I would like each entry to apply in each respective typeface.

This also applies to Sans-Serif, Monospace, Cursive, and Fantasy typeface listings.

If I understand what I have read, this most likely should be assigned to
[e-mail].  I am not sure, however, what category this goes in.

This is probably to Prefs.  This is also NS4.x.

Comment 3

I believe the platform/OS should be All/All. There is not typeface preview in
Linux either.
