IMHO, having a good style import and export is more important than creating a 
complex font substitution engine. If I know that my styles are imported and 
exported without messing in the names between MsWord and KWord, I can easily 
change the font in KWord and MsWord before printing. 

For fonts in KDE, it would be nice to have some kind of favorite fonts (1 
serif, 1 fixed, 1 sans serif, etc...). In general, you don't need more that 2 
or 3 different fonts in a document and the combo box in KWord for choosing 
fonts where I have something like 20 or 30 fonts is a bit too much. Maybe you 
could have at the top of the combo box the favorite fonts and below in an 
alphabetical order the extra fonts. We could link these 4 or 5 fonts to 
standard fonts in Windows and users would know that if they stick to 
simplicity they have more chance of good import and export.

Cheers,
Charles
