            Bug ID: 87871
           Summary: UI: Font dialog is cluttered (UX)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: ux-advise
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: computergeoffrey at zoho.com

There are many fonts and font variants available in LibreOffice. That is the
good news.

The bad news is:
1) I can barely navigate between the fonts because I have so many
2) All font variants are listed (they are called very similar)
3) Many fonts that I never use clutter up the menu

To resolve this and create a better user experience, I suggest:

1) Put the most used fonts first
2) Group font variants under the general font name, and provide another way to
select the variant (for example with an arrow with an extra menu)
3) Grouping fonts into categories (like Arabic) and let the user hide
categories (I will likely never use Arabic fonts)

UX team, this is really something for you! :)
