Description:
Ubuntu and LO install with hundreds of fonts by default. Plus, I need to add fonts.  This results in hundreds of fonts displayed in the font select drop-down box, which requires a great deal of scrolling to browse fonts.

I would like LO to enable me to place fonts into categories of my choosing, which category can then be browsed by scrolling. Examples of categories: Serif, Non-Serif, Fancy, Chinese, Arabic, Regular, etc.



Steps to Reproduce:
1.scroll through fonts
2.
3.

Actual Results:
fonts are not displayed in categories

Expected Results:
categories not expected, but requested.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
allow users to create categories for fonts.
