List fonts used in the document as favorites at the beginning of the font selector.

Usually fonts are reused a lot within the same document. Nowadays a lot of fonts are installed on a system, so making them more accessible eases their selection.

Isn't it easier to just type for the font you want? Favorites is clearly possible, but it is yet another thing to continuously track as the document changes.

That takes too long in texts where single words have different fonts within textlines.

Or just copy-paste the fonts you need? I doubt that like every single word has a separate font?

The default font combobox won't give you any favorites section, so a custom one would need to be implemented, with all the pretty corner cases like: if you select a font, do you mark the one in the favorites part as selected or the one in the full list? I'd say there are more useful things to work on.

What about another combobox just for the favorites, right of the all fonts list? Selecting a new font on the all fonts list can then easily be added to the favorites. As long as the function to do the same action for multiple nodes #264 is not in place it is quite a pain to change 10-30 single word's font on a page one by one.
