[Bug 1804137] [NEW] Font-Manager does not allow custom prevew text

 

Public bug reported:

In 18.04.

Allowing custom preview text is absolutely crucial for a font preview
tool, and it's been something font-manager has always had.

It's so easy to implement, I can't see any no reason to remove such an
important feature.

As FontMatrix is long since dead, there is now no way to view a custom
text when deciding what font to install or use, a crucial feature for
graphic design work.

** Affects: font-manager (Ubuntu)
