First:
Huge thank you all for the text tool! It is really great to have it now!
Imho there is an UI issue. The textfield shows a preview of the selected font, which is great. Unfortunately, on macOS the font selection fully covers this textfield, so I can’t see the preview anymore. This results in selecting each font separately instead of scrolling through the list with a live-preview. I would love to see the textfield and the font selection side by side.
