This was quickly solved in a support chat with Priyanka, who saw that my computer was named Greg's iMac. By taking out the apostrophe from the main directory name, both the font preview issue AND the missing pop-down menu issue were fixed. NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN FILE OR FOLDER NAMES.

I never would have thought of that.  Glad support got you sorted.

 

UPDATE 2/26/2022:

Effective July 2022, Adobe Edge Fonts will be discontinued.

Please switch over to Adobe Fonts or other suitable font replacement.

I'm starting to think I'm not linking into my account somehow, even though I started Dreamweaver from my account menu. I'm following Paul Trani's video on creating a web site and I don't get the pop down menus in the live screen either:
