Description

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

This is how it looks while viewing a .font file in Files:
*Image 1
And this is how it looks in the native Explorer app and what i request for Files:
*Image 2

Files would benefit from it, because you can acutely see a preview of what the font looks like.

Requirements

  • Adding the feature to preview Fonts in Files directly like in *Image 2, like you can see images in Files.
  • Maybe also that you can see the font name (*Image 2), but maybe in the preview on the bottom.
  • In *Image 2 you can see that some are stacked, and others ant. That is if there’s different variants of the font (Bold, Italic...). if you klick on them you can see those variants of the font. This could be implemented by using a folder icon, with the Font preview on it, so that it is easy to see that there are variants.

Files Version

4.0.11.0

Windows Version

and I only want the feature to view .font Files in particular
