Meanwhile I discovered a serious problem that might let us postpone this
work. Whatever users select in the dialog, it must be stored in the
document. For several reasons it's not enough to just store the complete
font name (and let the program fiddle out the details when the document is
loaded again), we also must store the font properties as text attributes. As
ODF currently does not support all that we need, it seems that a file format
change is necessary. That's not impossible, but will take some time,
especially as the ODF TC is still busy with finishing ODF 1.2.
So at least we have to make a plan for the file format changes before we can
discuss the details of when and how issue #78978 can be fixed.
That really is unfortunate. If I understood your email right,
additions to the file format will take longer than a few months to
complete?
Then I could still work on #i112466# and when that is finished, see
what would be the next priority. For example #i108684#.
As no work has started on the file format issues, it's unpredictable how
long it may take. Usually we start to implement things in OOo when the
ODF TC has agreed on a specification for the feature; it won't be
necessary that the feature will be already in the published standard. So
*if* we could start the discussion about the extensions we need for
better font face support right now, and *if* the agreement in the TC
could be achieved pretty fast, we could be finished in a few days. But
there are the two "if"...
I leave it up to the gsl team to answer your question about #i108584.

Mathias

I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
