--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vsfo...@libreoffice.org> ---
I don't think a context menu on a listbox entry selection would be a reasonable
way to do this. Too many listboxes across the UI would be affected to start
including a context menu for the class.

But listing the details at some location within LibreOffice UI *would* be
helpful.

Two dialogs with font selections actions seem reasonable to me:
1) a popup dialog via button on the 'Special Character...' dialog
2) a popup dialog via button on the 'Character...' dialog, next to the
'Features' button

Such dialog could show both font information and license, but also importantly
the Unicode coverage of the font.

Representative of what popup dialogs for font info could detail--have a look at
the Windows BableMap utility [1]. Details as found on its Fonts -> 'Font
Information...' and its Fonts -> 'Font Analysis Utility...'. 

Additionally the BableMap Fonts -> 'Font Coverage...' dialog is a *very* handy
for making font selections, for previewing and copying edit buffer in a font
that includes a particular Unicode glyph or span (but might be tough
cross-platform and certainly much more dev effort).
