Two questions about font previews please.

The first one is: how to change these font preview samples?
I want to customize the samples.

Where are they hiding?

The second one is: Preferences>Text>Preview on hover, how do I see the effect of this, I don't see any change.

I see that checking it, or unchecking it, previews the font effect of the currently selected content in real time.
I don't know where it says preview.

Thanks.

Interestingly, under Character Panel (or Control Panel) > Font dropdown ... you can change the sample text to show the selected text, or to 5 other preset strings of characters. One of those is similar to what you want to display.

But if you go to Type menu > Font > ... it just says Sample and you cannot change it.

Also, the sample doesn't show in Paragraph Styles at all.
