Text "Outline Width" and Bold "Front Style" are not shown in the Text Property Preview window in UI Builder when the Text Size is smaller than 19px
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new Unity project using a 3D Universal Template
- Go to Assets > Create > UI Toolkit > UI Document
- Open the created .uxml in UI Builder
- Create a new USS file by clicking the "+" button in StyleSheets tab
- Add a new selector
- Select the created selector
- In the Inspector, expand the Text foldout
- Change the "Outline Color" to any bright color (for better visibility)
- Increase the "Outline Width" value
- Observe the Text Property Preview window
Actual results: The outline is not visible in the preview window
Expected results: The outline is visible in the preview window
Reproducible with versions: 2023.1.0b1, 6000.0.64f1, 6000.2.15f1, 6000.3.1f1, 6000.4.0b1, 6000.5.0a3
Reproducible on: Windows 11

Notes:
- Issue also reproduces with "Font Style" Bold property
- This issue only affects the preview, as the outline is shown correctly on the actual text
- The outline is shown correctly in the preview if the Text Size is above 18px
