But perhaps you should. Otherwise you won't be able to select a range of characters and change them to some font. That's why the xforms side uses dispatch.

I think the GUI should both support text?? and math?? for ?? = bf, sf, tt, ... The layout->character dialog should work inside math and do the same things as for text... currently not quite so, it does a little trickery in formulabase to produce mathcal and mathbb etc., and sans isn't even provided. Not clean. But that's your GUI for text?? also inside math, after clean-up. The styles/fonts sub-panel of the math panel should then handle the math??. That would apparently require separate LFUNs for text and math; sigh. Does that make sense? > Why can't it insert \mathsf in math and \textsf in math text mode ? No, don't make this automatic. As André pointed out, you may want to use \textsf even within a math inset, in a text piece within. > What changes do you want me to make to Qt then ? > > john Martin
