<pre>As Stuart pointed out, we already have this feature of listing the last 5
chosen fonts. The list is stored in the user profile in the
user/config/fontnameboxmruentries file, and we even have an expert config
option to enable/disable this feature
(org.openoffice.Office.Common.Font.View.History). So I'm not sure why it
doesn't work for Pedro, maybe there's some bug involved here. I would suggest
at first to check the expert config, or even reset the user profile completely,
and see if that helps.
One problem that I did notice while testing this, is what happens when there
are several font name controls visible at the same time. This might be because
of several open documents, but as well might be in a single document, if both
the formatting toolbar and the sidebar are visible. It appears that each font
name control manages the MRU list on its own, and they're not synced. Moreover,
each control updates the fontnameboxmruentries file on its own when destroyed,
so the final contents of the fontnameboxmruentries file determined by the
control destroyed last, which might or might not be the one where the user
selected his fonts last.
In my testing I was selecting fonts in the toolbar control, and they appeared
in the MRU list at first, but not after restarting Writer. The problem turned
out to be with the sidebar. Everything went fine after I disabled the sidebar
via View > Sidebar. So that's another thing to watch out.</pre>
