Summary: Some Text Layer parameters don't work

Initial Comment:
0.61.06 synfigstudio SVN = 689; synfig SVN = 693

Add a text.
Go to Style parameter and change it (to Italic or Oblique)
Nothing change.

Same with Weight parameter

On the other hand the Font Family is not selectable form a list. I can only 
insert a text there. I have found that (in my Ubuntu 6.10) the following fonts 
work:

Courier
Times
Serif
Verdana
Sans Serif (I think this one is the default one when it doesn't recognizes the 
font)
Maybe there are more working. Is it not possible to include the possible fonts 
from a dialog window?. The user should select a font file (True Type) and the 
program read the file and render the text.

Even more. Sometimes, when click on the parameter to edit it then it show me 
weird things like a pair of points values, the word Normal, Italic, and others.

Finally the Orientation parameter should be called "OffSet" or "Indent" not 
Orientation. It is confusing.

I agree that Orientation isn't a good name for it, but I don't know what
is.

An orientation of (0,0) means that the 'position' param specifies the
position of the top left of the text and (1,1) means it specifies the
bottom right.

So it can be used for aligning a bunch of text layers I guess.  Set the
y-orientation to 1 and the text will be right-aligned.

So should it be called Alignment instead?

Orientation makes me think of rotation, which isn't right at all.
