instant apply
As instant as you press Enter. But we can make it instant-apply as
well, optionally.
and being able to move through the fonts with the down
button
Who said it's not possible with this widget? I bet it's easy, just
needs to be enabled.
Besides you have type ahead find - type a letter and see a drop-down
of fonts starting with that name (without previews, for speed).
which you can with a combobox is more convenient. I _always_
chose a font like that in any app where it is possible. Have a short
text and go through the list of fonts with that text. That is because
often you want the right font for that specific text. If you are not
looking for a font but know what you want, the name is enough.
It is possible to make this widget to display the selected text if
there is one, instead of the
standard string.
