------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Aug 9 12:27:31 +0000 2010 ------- Proposal to remove the font menu from the context menu. Reasons: - Technical limitations: because of performance problems we had to reduce the amount of fonts displayed in the this menu (issue 61775). Which systematic did we use to choose which fonts should be displayed? -> the first 100 entries sorted alphabetically. This means on a system with hundred*s* of fonts that fonts like Symbol, Times new Roman or Windings (rather common fonts) won't be displayed because there name is out of "Top 100" list. Useless. - Missing features (or bugs) we won't implement (fix): a) Such a context menu cannot have a preview like the toolbar font menu. Looking for a suiting typeface without preview is awkward. b) The menu entries cannot be reached by typing the first letter of the font name. Reaching entries via keyboard input is essential in long lists. Final small argument: cluttering the display with such a huge menu is ugly. We should have a look on the usage tracking on this menu. I suppose the amount is not very high. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
