Bug Description

When using an icon font, this would be useful to be able to see which letter translates to which glyph and to be able to insert them specifically, instead of having to type them all out to see which one is which.

If there is a compelling reason why the dialog shows the letters in a standard font instead of the selected one, it could be made optional to switch to the other 'font' view.

I found it strange that I haven't found a bug report for this, either I had really bad luck searching, or perhaps everyone thinks this must be known already. Or it's not a bug to other people.
