RE: MRU problems

I've seen many word processing/desktop publishing programmes that seperate the MRU 
list within the normal dialogue box.  Something like:

[ Times New Roman ]
       Arial
     Helvetica
    Courier New
  ----------------
      Arial
 Bitstream Charter
     Bookman
     Courier
   Courier New

et cetera

As for hiding menu items, that's just a god awful idea and the creator of it should 
whack about a few times.

I think the sublist could co-exist witht he user-chosen primary fonts.

One alternative, if everyone wants pre-view fonts (in line with what hub was saying) 
is to have an external application build it in a bitmap or similar form and use that 
"AaBbCc...YyXxZz" phrasing (that's it, just those 15characters).  Otherwise, the names 
or whole alphabet could be created in parallel.  After that, create a plugin for Abi 
from it if people would actually want to use it.  This would most likely speed up the 
loading.
