You say that it shows small sample of each font. On my side for years it shows just 3 major options Misc, few fonts commonly used on X before 20 years, then there is Courier option for various sizes, bold and slant and mix, and there is fontset. More than that never appears there. S-mouse-1 opens up same dialog. Do you mean that there are more fonts on your side displayed under those options?
