Neat.  Which reminds me, a default font selection menu like this would be
a logical addition to the "appearance..." submenu in the base image.  That
would render at least one frequently asked question obsolete.

Yes!!  I've been hoping that someone would create a bunch of strikefonts
at some point (so that I wouldn't have to do it. :-) )  I think Verdana
may be my new favorite.

I may put a few references in the appropriate places on the Swiki to your
web page, if you don't mind.  Your screenshot with all the fonts is
probably worth adding to the screenshots page, too.
