It would be easier to relate the fonts shown in the document properties dialog to text on the page if the font list included a visual preview of the font.  For example, by rendering each font name with that font.

A related issue is that I think it would be possible to tidy up the font list by reducing the number of columns.  For example, is the "Type" column really useful?  Since the file column is empty for many fonts, it might be better to put that information underneath the font name in a smaller size where applicable.
