space is not an issue.

slider is hard to control, but making the size list two dimensional can
eliminate scrolling.

Closed - Wont fix.

agreed - palette is better than list.

buttons are more appropriate for toolbars.
> 
> -increase the visible range of the font selection field
Also here, switch to two dimensional list.
>

Good idea for the toolbar, not here.

IMHO not useful.

different applications - different needs, inter-consistency not always
appropriate.
