Description Xeno Idaltu 2023-03-07 03:57:07 UTC

By default we get: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as an example when
opening KfontViewer.

It would be much better if KfontViewer either saved last input or allow us to
save several examples so that we don't have to type words we want every single
time.

This would be extremely helpful when looking for certain letters that we want to see how
they look on different font-themes.

A major example is when trying to choose the best font that had a "real difference"
when setting apart uppercase/lowercase letters and numbers like:
Ii Ll Ff Kk 0Oo

Many fonts straight up use the same fashion style for uppercase I and lowercase l, or
uppercase O is the same as number 0

Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.24.7 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need support for Plasma 5.24.7, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
