Description: LibreOffice Writer – Enhancement: Show font names used first Show all font names used in the <active>document at the top of the [Font Name List] above a separator line and all the {other} <installed>fonts not already used in the document below the separator line. This will allow using a variety of fonts in a document without having to keep scrolling thru the list of <installed>fonts. It appears that Arial seems to be a default font and I usually try to use [Liberation Sans] and [Liberation Serif] and some [Script Font], [Courier New], or [Times New Roman] but usually I end up scrolling up~and~down the font list looking for them. Thanks, Tracey This can make creatively font-a-fying a document much easier :-) Actual Results: Show all font names used in the <active>document at the top of the [Font Name List] above a separator line and all the {other} <installed>fonts not already used in the document below the separator line.
