------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 23 07:23:51 +0000 2007 ------- Some of you have raised good points. Let's look at it from a user's perspective. The user wants to insert a character into their document; the dialog is meant to facilitate that activity. They don't know squat about Unicode. If the character isn't represented at all in the dialog (for a given font), how are they to find it? Should they search all the tables, for each available font, for their character? It would seem that all Unicode characters should be there, arranged in a way that is easy for a layperson to navigate. (I don't think the Unicode range names are particularly obvious--they are a historical artifact. And what's with those tiny pop-down menus?) On the other hand, if all unicode characters are presented, but the character the user wants is not available in the current font, how is the situation to be conveyed to the user, and what is the user to do about it? I can imagine ways: For example, when the box for the character is right-clicked, a dialog could open showing that character in all the fonts that support it. If it's clicked and the character is supported by the current font, that character is immediately inserted. Another note: this dialog is unfortunately very familiar. I think somebody peeked at somebody else's (poor) solution. Ingenuity should be brought to bear. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
