> I'd appreciate such a filter. But what is the default for all OS?

As stated in the description, the default set of fonts would be of commonly
used fonts found in documents, and this would be irrelevant of OS, as documents
are not OS dependent. But if for example a linux user doesnt have one of these
default fonts installed, it wouldnt show in the list unless he opened a
document that contained it.

> Times New Roman... please don't (unless on Windows). Helvetica, Garamond?

Times New Roman is a very commonly used font in documents, as it was the
default font used in Microsoft Office until MSO 2007, and still is the default
font used in a number of office suites (WordPerfect, WPS/Kingsoft, AbiWord).

Helvetica isnt as commonly used in documents, except for being the default font
used in iWork.

> And does it makes sense to mix sans, serif, and mono fonts?

What is your reasoning behind not mixing them? Most users know fonts by their
names and not by their style classification.

> Whats about the recently used?

It would act similar to how it is now, with the list of recently used fonts
would appear at the top.

I believe the list would be of both open source and proprietary fonts in sans,
serif, monospace, symbol, and possibly script/handwriting. This list would also
have to work in various languages. The list would have to be saved and restored
when opening and closing LibreOffice, so a user doesnt have to re-add fonts in
a new session.
