Excuse me for the long grocery list, but I'm avoiding some other work and this seemed like a good way of killing time.

Most of this list is to help when dealing with large families. Scripts help, but there are some times when a script is overkill and it would be nice to have them built-in.

Cheers,
Mark

Font Info:
- Keystrokes for Apply and Change Font.
- Keystrokes for moving left and right in Font Info (without clicking on the left-hand list).
- A way to view the entire OT Names table without scrolling.
- Instant recognition of name lengths (ex: change field color to red when name exceeds length).
- Ability to set defaults for URLs, License, etc. in Preferences (you can move the TrueType Vendor Code: Use it as Default box there too).
- Apply Change to ALL Fonts button (ex: set TrueType Version record to the same in all fonts). Make it a check-box to the left of "Cancel/Apply/OK"

Font Window: Apply to ALL Fonts (ex: when changing to a specific Codepage). Could be something like holding Option when making a change. It sucks to do this manually for multiple fonts.
   
Sort Glyphs: Needs a window or Output message to let the user know that something has changed.

OpenType Features window:
- Copy Features from a Font should not affect kerning in other fonts. Features are typically standard for a family, but kerning is font-specific.
- New option: Copy Features to ALL Fonts.
- Triple-clicking on the Mac should select the entire line of text, not just the word (that's double-click)

When Exporting a font, I want to see the export options and/or if the font using custom settings.
