Since Glenn has taken us to the issue of rewriting objects for convenience
and/or improved function, how about the Font Panel?  Are any "improvements"
planned for in 3.0?  Like a shelf for frequently used fonts?  or maybe
make the "panel" into a browser where you can make "folders" of fonts
for specific types of documents?  etc. etc.  All I've done with my 
machine is to add the various PD fonts off of Sonata, plus the ones that
came with Illustrator, but I still get very tired of having to scroll through
all those fonts repeatedly to use just a few again and again on a certain 
document.  Any hopes this will be improved?  or is this somehow more 
difficult than I think?

(As an incentive to Glenn, I bet if the font panel were more convenient 
people would be more interested in buying additional fonts)
