Oh!

1. Even though we definitely need to make Writer comfortable to people who use
styles, in no case we should make some basic tasks to *require* using styles,
which is basically telling Benjamin to stop using the software.

2. This is basically in the same topic as that bug 104318, bug 146910, bug
146928, and others that make non-Western script users the second-class
citizens.

There is some discussion (with Khaled expressing his opinion that the division
to the three font categories is useless, also reflected here in comment 4, and
which I support); there's bug 148257, and so on.

A UX solution to the problem of handling different fonts for different scripts
in the same UI (style, but also direct formatting!) is needed.
