Sounds great. One thing I've been thinking of recently is a new font 'style'
similar to bold or italic -- strikeout. Many systems allow you to strikeout a
character (equivalent to <char> <backspace> "-", and it would be quite simple
to implement at the font manager level.  I'm currently doing some editing of
another person's document and that would be quite handy as a way of showing
changes.
