    It may behoove you to recursively bisect your user-configuration (by commenting stuff out and restarting Emacs) to find out why list-faces-display works correctly with emacs -q, but not when loading your user-configuration. The right column should be a rainbow of colors, with a variety of fonts. Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 16:52
  • I haven't messed about with text properties myself but if all else fails I will. Each of the text previews is in the relevant font when I inspect the text. However, they are displaying as button. Is there any reason having the button property set to t would override the default face? Is there a way to manually override that? I'd rather apply a patch to whatever changed that than disable packages outright. Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 17:02
  • In my emacs, the button property is indeed set on the sample texts, because they are indeed buttons. But also, the face property is set to the face being displayed, and that determines the look of the text. Before bisecting, try to run emacs with the -Q argument. If the problem still occurs, your emacs installation appears to be broken somehow. Commented Sep 26, 2016 at 21:01
