Revert the "Manage fonts" button #65574

Open richtabor opened 4 days ago

richtabor commented 4 days ago

The "Manage fonts" butto (added in this pr) is far too prominent in this iteration, especially accounting for the entire panel's contents. It's adding unnecessary complexity to the UI, introducing another type of control to the already disjointed view.

I'm fine with testing alternatives, but not a solution that fundamentally exists outside of the editor design language. A list of choices, with a button all the way at the bottom is not ideal.

Maybe the design language needs to adapt to the users needs not the other way around.

Sure, but not in a one-off method that is unique from all other instances. We should not push forward ideas we know are not sustainable long term. Instead, we need to rethink this from a holistic view—not a one-off change here and there. That's how the entire panel ended up in its current state.

It is. There is nothing like this in the editor today, with a big button after it:
