Very early versions of Fontra Pak would always launch into the editor with a sample text, because there was no font overview yet.
Bring back the sample text box, but with a twist: if it is empty (default), it will still launch into the font overview.
This is nice if you want to skip the font overview and directly view some text. With the new OpenType support I expect this to become a common use case, as it allows Fontra Pak to be used a bit like FontGoggles.
