I tend to find a lot of books have fonts embedded in them that are either unused entirely, or are very "generic" sans- or serif fonts. I typically like to strip these from my books before putting them on my Kobo (often reducing the filesize significantly). Because of this I find myself often wishing I could double-click a font to view a sample, like you can in Windows or MacOS.

Obviously there are several ways to view the font, like unpacking it from the epub or creating css styles to preview, but it would be great to just be able to double-click the font to view it. Is that something that could be (feasably) done?

In any case, thanks from a long-time user!
