Derezynski=<br /> ==Numeric Kerning Control==<br /> Do the neccessary backend coding to properly handle kerning, eventually take care of rendering problems with kerning, and add GUI controls to text tool dialog.<br /> <br /> ==Text Toolbar Dropdown/Font Selection Dialog==<br /> ===Rewrite of the font selection drop down===<br /> <br /> The current implementation implements the basic idea, but in itself is too ad-hoc and unpolished. A proper implementation for the text dropdown requires, unfortunately maybe, in my opinion, writing of at least an own widget for the font list, since using TreeView is unsatisfactory.<br /> <br /> Thus this proposal involves a complete rewrite of the current widget(s) and some backend coding.<br /> <br /> Base goal: Fix usage semantics and improve usability of font dropdown<br /> <br /> * Use caching of prerendered layouts for font previews, use Cairo scaling when needed to avoid clipping text at row boundaries<br /> * Make preview dropdown resizable<br /> * Make preview font size adjustable (see bug #172120)<br /> * Use not treeview/treemodel but own, specialized thus faster widget for the dropdown<br /> * If sanely possible, share cached layouts between dropdown and text dialog<br /> <br /> ===Text Dialog===<br /> * Fix minor usage problems with text dialog, most related to TreeView and selection<br /> <br /> ==Launchpad Bugs==<br /> #168320, #181663, #168273 (if fixable and is not truly a Gtk+ bug), #167565, #172120, #168064, #269625</div>
