------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Mar 7 18:55:56 +0000 2008 ------- @hdu: since font families are getting more complex, but the face number is still somewhat limited, a short-term solution would indeed be to drop all the face filtering OO.o does and drop the face list as reported by the system in the Format->Character dialog. Then you only need to agree on the sorting of this raw face list. A good strategy would IMHO to sort faces by stretch, then weight, then slant, then name (if the previous 3 parameters are not sufficient) For a reasonably complex and common font family such as Dejavu Sans, you'd get the following face list: Condensed Condensed Oblique Condensed Bold Condensed Bold Oblique Extralight Book Oblique Bold Bold Oblique with nice normal/italic/bold/bold-italic clusters as expected by users. Of course mid-term face number may grow enough using an unique face list may not be sufficient The Microsoft paper http://blogs.msdn.com/text/attachment/2249036.ashx proposes filtering strategies if you do not want to expose raw font family/faces in the dialog but want to rework what the fonts report. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
