Figure out who owns the font picker, and work with that person to finalize the
spec and get it implemented, with all I18N issues in mind.

Sorry, when I saw the term "font picker" in XPToolkit docs, I assumed it was
talking about the font prefs dialog under Edit.Preferences. In this bug report,
I'm really referring to the font prefs, so I've changed the Summary above. The
front end of the prefs is owned by Matt Fisher.

Matt said he'd do font prefs by M9, so marking this M9.

trudell told me they will drop font selector widget (which have both font face
selection and size selection in one widget) for M11. I told him it is ok since
we can use font face selection widget + a size menu to work around.

I tried hooking up something like this the other day, for fun. I used
nsIFontEnumerator. Unfortunately, I have 388 fonts (not really that many, but
still quite a lot of DOM appends to be doing on a select widget) and it hung
mozilla every time I tried to load the font list -_-
Some people say that we need a "modern" font picking system like that
recommended at verso.com (can't remember the url, braden@endoframe.com has it)
- one that lets you pick default serif, sans-serif, monospace, fantasy, dingbats
etc.
i have the font panel in my tree with
the fontenumerator pretty much working.
I was going to try to check it in today
but i got a damn pdt+ treewidget bug.

rgoodger, the font prefs panel that Matt is working on will have all of the CSS
generic fonts (serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive and fantasy).
Matt, it's good to hear that you got it pretty much working. I hope you got my
email about the font pref name change. The naming scheme that I am using in the
backend code that has already been checked in is:
user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "Times New Roman");
user_pref("font.size.monospace.ja", 10);
However, the backend code does not currently dynamically update the fonts when
the prefs change. You need to quit the browser, and re-start, to take effect.

Reopened.
This bug is not completely fixed. There is additional work needed to
complete this feature. Erik (and Frank for Mac) have incrementally
checked in parts to allow QA to test parts and to provide the pieces
needed to hook up the XUL pref dialog work that Matt is working on.

Montse, could you let me know which font names are used for the default fonts
in the various localized versions of Communicator 4.X? Thanks!

Matt, I just attached a patch to this bug to get Mozilla to update font prefs
dynamically. So, to test your font prefs dialog in XUL/JS, you can use this
patch in your local tree, and make sure that the fonts change when you hit the
OK button in prefs. I tried it already, and it sorta works, but there is a bug
in the layout engine where the new fonts are not immediately displayed, and you
need to hide and show the window. It also doesn't relayout properly until you
do View.Reload. Anyway, this patch may help you test your XUL/JS while I'm on
vacation 12/18 to 1/5.

All, I just attached a patch to get font prefs to work on Unix. If anybody
wants to test font prefs on Unix while I'm on vacation 12/18 to 1/5, please
apply this patch to your local tree.
