The 'Font' tab of the 'Default Paragraph Style' style SB deck's dialog has just
three "selections" droplists for selection of 'Font', 'Style', and 'Size' with
a button control to launch a smart type 'Features' dialog to select Graphite or
OpenType features of the font. The layout of the dialog will shift depending
on per user language setting selection (Tools -> Options -> Language Settings
-> Languages).
But for any dialog layout, I fail to see how a Button control rather than a
Droplist would be appropriate for selection of Font, Style or Size?
