I agree that Substring search would be very useful for users. It is common that users only remember part of the name of fonts and want to use that memory to find the font they want. I feel this feature would need to talk with develop team to see their ideas or constraints in it. > Other times I am looking for a special look of the font, but have no idea > what it might be called.

I found several comments in here and other similar bugs that talk about this feature. A filter or sorting feature can let LO be customized in some certain way for users. That would be great. Maybe we could welcome more users to comment here about their ideas for the filter/Sort feature of the font selector. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
