Reading system fonts
I understand that Blender is cross platform and that system fonts probably work very differently on other platforms, but being able to just view all installed fonts from a drop-down like you can in almost any other piece of software would be a godsend.
When doing work with text, sometimes I have no clue which font I am going to use, so being able to quickly switch through some is sorely needed.

Create a file browser panel, pointing at your fonts folder and set the view to preview - Viola! There's a preview of your fonts!
Right, but one thing i do is i open the windows font folder and there is a preview of every font.. You can then just drag and drop it into blender
* @SilaS * The location of the system font folder isn't always obvious to general users, and even if it is, having Blender open alongside another window on a small-ish (any laptop) screen is asking for all kinds of clutter.
Font previews might be a separate feature depending on the difficulty of implementation, though.
