I'd like to have font preview for differect sizes and print this page for a single font and font collection (with custom sample text). I'd like to have better naming convention i don't care is it is iso-1 or iso-15 or iso10646-1 i'd like to see English and English with euro and Unicode (with information about what languages it supports) I'd like to know when it is hinted, when smoothed, when when hinted and smoothed (Xft) and to control it. Maybe copyright and font supplier (with url and all available information) if it is opentype font. Different fonts are better suited for different things i'd like to see thir history and description with recomendation (+ somme common grouping) I'd like to have my own local fonts and i'd like to have them in the organized manner (Russian monospace, for presentation) and i'd like to enable/disable font collection at any time. I'd like to know how many fonts installed/active TrueType/OpenType/Type1/Speedo/etc > Revolution is what MS does, it's a violent way of making too many > changes at one time and not being able to stabilize the code, > evolution is gradual and reliable, and doesn't require > reeducation at every release.

Also i'd like to see User templates where i can set their shell, account/availability, group membership, password control. Rights profile: can login, can use mail, can run selected commands, mount disks, view rpm packages installed, add users... I'd like to use control center one one computer to control all mandrake boxes on network.
