Hi all, "Store/Restore font dropdown MRU" is the required hack I worked on. I attached the related patch. From the Easy Hack web page:Background: When you open a new document, use the font dropdown and select a number of different fonts then the 5 or so most recently used fonts are shown at the top of the list. But when you open a new document then the dropdown resets again. It would be nice to retain the MRU list when opening a new document, and also save and restore the MRU on exit and restart. Code for the dropdown is in svtools/source/control/ctrlbox.cxx, see vcl/unx/source/fontmanager.cxx and "m_aCacheFile" for a sample of the APIs to save/load from/to a file in the users config directories.
My work: Now when you close a window where a FontNameBox control is provided the most recent used (mru) entries for the font control are stored in a file, the previous saved entry list is discarded; when a document is opened or created the mru entry list of the FontNameBox control is populated with the one saved in the file. The file is saved under UserPath/config and is named fontnameboxmruentries (is there a better place/name ?) A possible enhancement could be to save the font name box mru entries for the last 5/10 openened documents. (How can I get the name of the current document/window ?) While I was working on this hack I noticed that when two or more documents are opened spurious resetting of the FontNameBox mru entry list may happen, I did not get the cause of that, anyway as a workaround I added a call to FontNameBox::GetMRUEntries at the begin of the FontNameBox::Fill method and a call to FontNameBox::SetMRUEntries to the end of the same method in this way even with spurious calls to the FontNameBox::Fill method the font mru entries are preserved.
