OK. I missed that because it is not translated yet in French.

It worked. The main difference is that the script gives :

InsetLayout CharStyle:Latin

where my handcrafted version had
InsetLayout Latin

The 'Charstyle:' is not very elegant but seems to be necessary.

What is the difference between Minimalistic and Conglomerate ? I do not see
on the screen any difference.


Would it be possible when your cursor is in a zone formatted with a custom
charstyle to print in the status bar after the font formatting information
something like 'Custom character style : Foo' ?
