I my mind, the purpose of the 'gallery' is for a visual view/selection of the font by 'face' rather than by name. Your eye is drawn to the font face, not the name, which is what a gallery all about.
And, unlike the font list, is not a pre selector of a font.
The font list on the info bar is your alphabetically selectable font lister.
Why duplicate functions with the font list and the font gallery when they are clearly mean't to serve different purposes?
Fast scrolling with mouse wheel seems sufficient to me.
If you want more features in a single UI, why not use accesD's (dmitry) free FontSeeker?? He wrote this for Xara users to use for free. **

I'm also suprised no-one has made mention of FastStone Capture which, up until very recently was freeware. I know I can't work without it.
The most recent free version is still available for download here

I have alerted Dmitry to this.
