I hope useability will be considered too. (What, I have to define a style before I can use bold?) Of course this one is easily solved by distributing lyx with common styles predefined. I also hope I can continue doing things like: 1. Mark the first 2/3 of a sentence, turn on italic somehow. 2. Mark the last 2/3 of the sentence, turn on bold. The first 1/3 is now italic, the middle 1/3 is now bold italic, the last 1/3 bold only. A somewhat contrived example, but I do occationally use bold to emphasize further in the middle of something italicised. And no, using normal in the middle of italic text does not work for me at all. Such a word almost disappear for me, rather than stand out. In short, it is nice to be able to add orthogonal font properties automatically. Helge Hafting
