Summary0010042: Improve Available Fonts Preference
DescriptionUnder Preferences/Fonts/Available Fonts I would like to see multiple-selection supported. Also a checkbox added for "Use Selected", and buttons added for "Select All" and "Deselect All". If say 3000 fonts are available (and the application currently has all fonts used by default), and I want to use say only 10 of them, I need to uncheck "Use Font" 2990 times. That's ridiculous. I should be able to click a Select All button, uncheck a Use Selected checkbox, select the 10 fonts I want to use, then click a Use Selected checkbox again. This would be MUCH faster than the current interface. (If multiple fonts are selected and some are used and some are not used, then the Use Selected checkbox would be checked and dimmed, the same way other applications work. Click the dimmed checkbox would use all the selected fonts and un-dim it. Clicking it again would uncheck the checkbox, not using the selected fonts.)
Steps To ReproduceSee Description.
Additional InformationEssentially, I'd like to see a more robust interface for managing a large number of fonts within Scribus, since the Available Fonts preference is currently being implemented as a font manager for Scribus, but seems to be designed under the assumption that a user will only have about a dozen fonts.
