Re: [Syllable-developer] FontRequester...

Regarding the screenies I've seen, what I've found very useful is a font 
selector which allows an arbitrary phrase or word to be displayed in the 
selected font.  This helps for designing, because it allows one to see 
exactly what the string they give it will look like in that font.

Especially since some fonts (a lot by SF, such as DecoTech, Galactic, and so 
on) are missing puncuation, or replace common symbols such as $ or % with 
their own, entirely unrelated, logos of some sort.

Just my 2 cents on that :)
