Leaving aside the broken backends and focusing on the desire for the font menu, I don't understand what sort of workflows we're talking about here. Would you mind giving a bit more typical context, as with the use-cases at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/NOTE-grddl-scenarios-20070406/ I'd have assumed corporate clients generating PDF would want to set fonts globally or configure styles to match their own branding guidelines. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
