Hi,

One easily overlooked feature which I consider to be most important is 
keyboard support.

In many Windows apps (and OpenOffice), I can type the first few 
characters into the font selector combo and that's usually enough to 
narrow it down to the font I'm going to use.  This feature makes an 
*incredible* difference to working efficiency.

All the best,
