Marking as wishlist since there is a reasonable workaround: you can use the Text and Font dialog to try out different fonts.
Also: how small are we talking, And what OS are you using? I can't get a screenshot while the font menu has focus, but for me (Linux, recent SVN) the grayed-out sample fonts are roughly same size as the font names and the other menu text. This seems a reasonable choice.
