As a user, IMHO, all basic features from graphite (or even OpenType) like, for
example small caps or sub and superscripts should work directly from the simple
toolbar buttons if the font provides those features.

Duplicate funcions that look different with each other when applied (I mean,
small caps from Graphite and the one provided by LibO from Character dialog)
create confusion. Furthermore, small caps features from graphite does look much
better than the generated by LibO. It would be nice if a user who use to use,
e.g., Times New Roman and uses to apply any of these formating options from the
toolbar buttons, and start to use Libertine because anything, he could continue
to format his documents in the same way he has been doing so far.
