I had a flash of inspiration this morning biking into work. I was thinking about how most people only use a few fonts, most probably just the three standard fonts (sans, serif, monospace). So how about this:
At the outset, there is a font menu with the entries Sans Serif Monospace Other fonts... plus the regular style menu. Selecting other fonts opens a GtkFontSelectionDialog. There, the user can see the whole list, as well as samples of how they look. When a font is selected there, it is added to the font menu. Extra fonts in the font menu are stored persistently (with the possibility of LRU-ness). This way, we have a simple font menu that gives the user exactly the fonts he/she needs, and for finding other fonts, we have the full power of the standard font dialog. -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause)| H�rdgrim of Numenor "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I |---------------------------- will defend to the death your right to say it." | Where are we going, and --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | what's with the handbasket? _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
