A way to see more fonts. Right now I can see ~20 fonts. So to scroll through 250 I will have to scroll 13 pages. That feels sub-optimal since there is space for 5 times that many on my screen. One solution would be to have multiple columns. My screen would fit 5 columns showing ~100 fonts. Meaning that I would only scroll 2.5 pages given my ~250 fonts. Maybe this should not be the dropdown, but opening a window in itself, where you choose your favorite fonts from all fonts (including the ones that supports Thai - see below), and the dropdown only shows your favorite fonts? In my day-to-day work use I use maybe 10 fonts. So it would be nice if these somehow were easily selected. > > If I write in Thai, it would be important to me that I could choose to only > > show fonts that had Thai letters.

I think it ought to be reasonably easy to either select the language or type 'th' for Thai, 'da' for Danish and 'en' for English (possibly just use ISO 639-1). Given the language it should be possible to determine which UTF-8 characters that language requires, and if these are present in the font, then include the font in the filter. E.g. for Danish it would be a-z+æøå. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
