--- Comment #21 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Manu from comment #19) > ... > My proposition: > - the user can parameter his "lorem ipsum".

And, you do know that you can simply highlight any representative text then open the Character... dialog and directly review how that text is rendered, right? Applicable in any of the modules. Placing user configurable strings into the fontlist box widget would force the widget even wider than its two column format (of font name and generated sample where applicable). UX of blocking UI and document canvas. Possibly an *optional* alternative of displaying user string(s) in a mouseover/kb focus tooltip popup for the font combobox might be functional, but it seems awfully contrived. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
