--- Comment #14 from Yousuf (Jay) Philips <philipz85 at hotmail.com> ---
This bug report has 3 suggested improvements of integrating font styles into
the toolbar.

1) Create a separate font style drop down menu that lists font styles and keep
the current font name drop down menu exclusive to font families similar to
iWork Pages (OP description) and inDesign (comment 12). This would make the
toolbar similar to the controls in the font tab of character dialog, which
should be easy to implement, but would take up more room in the toolbar and
would be confusing to users who are used to having a single drop down menu for
everything, which is the default for most apps.

2) Change the font name drop down menu to only show font family names and have
a submenu that expands from each font family to select the font styles (comment
3). This would likely be more difficult to implement as we dont have any
implementation of a similar submenu in the combobox.

3) Change the font name drop down menu so that font style editions of a font
family are indented after the main entry (attachment 101991).
