The attached patch against `faces.el' adds the word "sample", rendered in the appropriate face, to the top row of the `describe-face' pop-up buffer. An example result can be seen in this screenshot: http://yrk.nfshost.com/images/faces-sample.png Good idea. How about showing two samples: foreground and background?
