I guess that with Squeak having such a long and rich life there are times when a goal of making it more like other environments just doesn't make sense. My intent is to make Squeak's text edit interaction more like Windows ... select, right-click, set style, bold ... but one could argue that individual hot keys are far more powerful. I would even argue that Windows would do well to be more like Squeak.

But my basic issue remains, both "set font" and "set style" bring up font selection tools and no way to set attributes such as bold and italic.
No way through those dialogs, yes. But no way at all, no -- Until it's fixed you can use Command+6 to change color, Command+7 for bold, Command+8 for italic, Command+_ for underline, Command+0 to make normal.
