RE: MRU problems
I've seen many word processing/desktop publishing programmes that seperate the MRU list within the normal dialogue box. Something like:
[ Times New Roman ]
Arial
Helvetica
Courier New
----------------
Arial
Bitstream Charter
Bookman
Courier
Courier New
et cetera
As for hiding menu items, that's just a god awful idea and the creator of it should whack about a few times.
I think the sublist could co-exist witht he user-chosen primary fonts.
One alternative, if everyone wants pre-view fonts (in line with what hub was saying) is to have an external application build it in a bitmap or similar form and use that "AaBbCc...YyXxZz" phrasing (that's it, just those 15characters). Otherwise, the names or whole alphabet could be created in parallel. After that, create a plugin for Abi from it if people would actually want to use it. This would most likely speed up the loading.
