Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-06-10 16:39:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Example test:
change every font size +1 pixel. Count how many clicks you have to do and how much mouse movement. This is not good.

So please instead of statis display of name font provide 2 comboxes + editbox (with ^v widgets). So user _immediately_ can have access to all the properties of font. 

With such design it takes 8*(1+1+1) (and a lot of movement) clicks but only 8. Better than 3 times less work!

Ancient request, we now have scaling as a separate place which is probably what is wanted here.
