Any toolbar changes need to be against current 1.4cvs (which includes, for example, both depth-decrement and depth-increment). There is no view dvi/pdf, but I'm not too happy with two buttons a piece for view/update. I've completely forgotten the mechanism and the code for how update works, but it's not really suitable to have both in a toolbar (unless we add an off-by-default 'Export' toolbar or something). > 2.

Work has started on this in 1.4cvs (much, much more work to do). Explicit modification of italic etc. is eventually going to go away altogether in favour of styles. > 3.

Fixed in Qt frontend at least in 1.4cvs regards john
