Resolved / Related Issues
Added support for generating font file thumbnails and displaying proper font names instead of filenames when browsing font directories.

Closes #17786

Steps used to test these changes

  1. Font file thumbnail display
    • Navigate to C:\Windows\Fonts
    • Verify font thumbnails load correctly for .ttf, .otf and .fon files
  2. Font name display
    • Verify file list shows "Arial Bold" instead of "arialbd.ttf"
    • Verify font names display correctly for various font files

@workbysaran can you please rebase this PR from main and share a screenshot comparing the generated thumbnails with File Explorer? Thanks!
