I agree The font dialog and the font selector in the type tool options should show only font families; Type tool options dialog should have an extra tab for selecting styles. Scribus' text properties dialog has a nice implementation of that, Bold and italic buttons can be kept, but they should interact with the style selector (i.e.: changing the style to bold if the button was pressed). But the bold button itself isn't enough for families with several weights (light, medium, book, semibold, extra-bold, ultra-bold) so the extra selector is still needed. Maybe this is a long shot, but let me try. Since type tools in GTK applications (GIMP, Inkscape, etc) suffer usually from the same issues, what if instead of developing a type tool for GIMP you design a comprehensive type selector widget for gnome? As a user, I'd love to see a unified type selector in all my apps. There are some tools that are specific to each application and their workflow, but type, as well as file opening/saving is pretty much the same always, so it would be great if gnome apps had a generic library for that. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
