Really small text frames: with few words in not more than two rows (think logos, captions for screenshots etc.). Adjustments: font, font face, size, letter spacing, baseline offset, color. Missing property: stroke color. 2. Rather large text frames, with lots of rows of text (think website mockups). Adjustments: text frame size for text reflow, font, font face (selectively), font size (for the whole frame), underline, color. There are cases when I'd make a good use of editable text on path, so for now I have to go to Inkscape for that. In some cases I need special characters like proper quote marks (we use French quillomets in Russian), but I mostly rely on Compose key (it's a Linux/X11 thing). There is an alternative solution for GNOME currently under review: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ExtraCharacters P.S. Having "Sans" font always by default is a major irritating factor, because it never makes sense. Perhaps I should be setting up an proper alias instead, but somehow I never find myself doing that.
