Can I ask why the font selection field in the component properties was changed to a dropdown only?  
It used to be that you could just type the font name, bold/Plain, size into it.  
Now you have to use the font interface to change anything!!!  
I know it sounds pedantic, but this really does slow things down in designer.  
Please bring it back.
