I do not think that the current font range implementation cause lots
of problems.
I really think the way fonts are used in LyX is *really* complicated and
caused us lots of problem in the past.
Extending it is a bit of work,
Extending something really complicated is more than a bit of work IMO.
but then I do not think
either that the 3-box model is trivial.
The difference is that the 3-box model only affect visualization on
screen of some insets. The LyX internal structure doesn't have to convey
this information. With font range, the information is _in_ the data.
