--- Comment #8 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
It's not consistent to have a button in the toolbar that toggle the fontwork
dialog on/off. However, having an entry in the context menu is absolutely
necessary, and the main menu would be the alternative access. Both are still
missing in 5.3. 
We should also consider to make the font work available in the sidebar, with a
limited scope but a simple way to show the dialog.

The dialog itself appears like a floating widget but is a modeless dialog, or
rather a non-standard toolbar. As such it is dockable leading to a mess, e.g.
it overrides the sidebar. So how about integrating these features into the text
dialog? By the way, text properties are overridden by fontwork.

And last but not least I suggest to rename this feature since Fontwork is used
for gimmick text (Insert > Media > Fontwork...). Perhaps "alignment" or
"adjustment". Wouldn't be a big deal when integrated into "text".
