LibreOffice
The current Fontwork shape type window has several shortcomings:
(1) The selection does not cover all 40 Fontwork types available in OOXML.
LibreOffice can use and render all of them.
(2) The 'Curve' types have the same icon as the 'Pour' types. That is bad
because you need to wait for the tooltip to be sure you use the correct icon.
(3) The types "Arch Up (Curve)", "Arch Down (Curve)", "Circle (Curve)" and
"Open Circle (Curve)" render the text on a single line, whereas the other types
scale the text to fit between lines. So these four should be separated from the
others. MS Office makes the distinction "Follow path" and "Warp".
(4) The types "Arch Right" and "Arch Left", both 'Circle' and 'Pour', are very
special. The have not counterpart in OOXML. In exchange with MS formats they
can only be used for the binary MS formats. They should be separated from the
other types too.
The Fontwork shape type window is defined by the files
.../toolbar/fontworkshapetype.xml. All of its items are of the kind
<toolbar:toolbaritem
xlink:href=".uno:FontworkShapeType.fontwork-arch-up-pour"/>
That means, that the execution uses the dispatcher. And indeed an item
<toolbar:toolbaritem xlink:href=".uno:FontworkShapeType.mso-spt142"/>
works directly without changes in the code. ["mso-spt142" is the missing type
"Ring Inside"]. Only that there exists no icon for it.
I will attach screenshots of the similar tools in other Office applications.
