Me too. Showing the font is a good idea from a usability standpoint, however:
1. If we're designing for the low-end user (low-end systems and resources)
the less we use up the better.
2. On my 17" monitor, Word's live font display is fine; a smaller screen
would cause trouble.
Perhaps Abi could show the font outlines in the style editing dialog
font-picker instead of all the time on the toolbar? If Abi made it easy to
edit styles (and less buggy), maybe this is a good compromise?
