i basically see two aspects: * things like weight, italic, capitalization are all in qfont, at most the save/load of the font to the configuration file may require a bit of tweaking to support all those properties (not sure how much is supported right now, but is basically serialization of qfont properties) * font "classes" so, right now we just have defaultFont, smallestFont. what i see from the proposal seems to move the font classes and configuration more similar to a text document, so stuff like header, contents, active.. rather than the classes coming from the desktop (to which i didn't do qml bindings yet) like titlebar, toolbar, desktop etc... of the proposal i like the general idea of keeping it simple ;) I would like indeed a more typographic text document approach, also to consider is how much this will impact the work on the desktop as well...
