1. You have to define the styles first. Not only that requires more than 5 clicks, but some knowledge. This raises more entry barriers for new users, especially converts from competition. 2. Still it should not be necessary - user already indicated the language by switching keyboard layout. 3. Competition already does this for all languages (for 10 years already!), we already know how to do this for Asian languages, so why not allow layout switch to change the language of text? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
