Description

The panic opening the preview window in #231 does seem to be fixed, the window opens now. The only trouble is it's blank and I can't figure out how to get anything to show in it:

The font I'm testing here only has capital glyphs, but I entered a preview text in all caps and still don't get anything on the canvas.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the blank preview window on Linux with a font containing only capital glyphs and all-caps preview text. The issue is resolved when the entered glyphs render visibly on the preview canvas instead of remaining blank.
