I'll take your word for it. > The button face font can be used. (either it is readable, > or it isn't -- either way, it's in use right now) No, I think you missed my meaning. The more real estate you give to those buttons, the less there is for messages on the bottom. It looks fine with the latin alphabet and English, but is it fine for others? > How about if those buttons were on the other side, with > a similar arrangement, instead of wrapped around Tux? Yes, that might work. But a few different possibilities spring to mind, then. Maybe the font style buttons on the top, flush right, and the size buttons underneath, also flush right, in a 180 degree rotated capital L arrangement. Then the colors would start flush left and span to the edge of the font style buttons, making room for 18 colors.
