            Bug ID: 119915
           Summary: Make it easier to work with different fonts
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.1.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: J22Gim at gmail.com

Description:
It would be great if Writer (I guess can be applied to all LO apps) remembered
the commonly used fonts in the document so the user doesn't have to manually
search for them every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document and write several things with different fonts.
2. Now let's say you want to change the font of a given text so you click into
the drop-down menu which displays all installed fonts

Actual Results:
Fonts are (almost) alphabetically sorted (ascending). Thus in order to get the
font you want you have to either a) scroll down until you find it, or b) write
the name if you remember it exactly.

Expected Results:
It would make sense if Writer offered two kind of fonts at the beginning of the
list, a) fonts already used in the current document and b) fonts used in the
current session. If this was the case, just by clicking into the font drop-down
menu I can see the last fonts (or fonts present in the current document), thus
making the editing so much faster.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
For example I work a lot with Liberation sans. The problem is, there are many
Liberation fonts (Liberation mono, Liberation Serif, etc.) Thus every time I
want to change the font to Liberation Sans I have to actually Write "Liberation
sa" in the font name box to benefit from the Autocomplete option... This is
time consuming and cumbersome. Some may say "this is what Styles are for", but
it is not always justified that you need to create a style just for the font..
