Let's see if this fixes the problem (do you reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
this e-mail ok or to other one)?

Ignoring the font dialog since it's another thing (it has preview which
covers the needs of the user a bit), the font name property editor (it shows
a drop-down list, could show an owner-drawn one instead) would be the thing
to change (once for all platforms I suppose). BTW, speaking of many
platforms, how does Lazarus support "fonts" crossplatform? (does it delegate
the burden onto the OS ? [since there is raster/bitmap fonts, TrueType,
OpenType, PostScript etc. fonts that one could support)
