SUMMARY
When using custom font groups, it's not clear how you might remove a font from a custom group. Right click doesn't work, and dragging only works if you already know that dragging to "all" is supposed to mean "remove from current group".

A previous version of this bug report was "there is no way to remove a font from a group" and I only learned how to do so while testing for this bug report.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure there is a custom group
2. Drag a font or two into the new group
3. Go into the new group
4. There is no clear way to remove the font from the group.

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no clear way to remove a font from a group.

EXPECTED RESULT
There is a clear way to remove a font from a group.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
One rudimentary fix is to make dragging a font into the empty part of the group list or other builtin groups (where it currently does nothing) remove the font from the group instead. This has the problem of relying on drag-and-drop, but adding fonts to a group already require drag-and-drop right now.
