Likely the same as
- Bug #1082926 “Text preview unusable with extreme font sizes”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1082926>

(see JazzyNico's comment there)

Related (not duplicate):
- Bug #1082942 “Docked dialogs scale with font size”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1082942>

(scaling the font preview along with canvas zoom size would result in the same effect under different conditions - maybe 'Text and Font' needs a toggle for the scale of the font preview [ fit dialog | 1:1 | fit zoom level ] ?)
