Apple font panel
The font panel used by Apple's TextEdit, and many 3rd party apps DOES support some OT features, and provides these services to the application. In TextEdit: Format->Font->Show Fonts opens the panel, which has a sub-menu (sprocket down arrow- at lower left) for Typography which is context sensitive. ...

OT fonts - Any chance
Any chance we'll soon see even minimal support for OT fonts?
Maybe just a switch for text numbers?
Or at least support for the features of the OS X font panel?
Thanks for any response.

Type and text formatting
are why I generally prefer Mellel. It supports Open Type features, such as small caps, swashes, old style figures, and many other OT features that make formatting papers much faster.

Slowww
Changes in existing document thru character panel (font, size) and and paragraph panel (spacing) take 30-45 secs to achieve. MUCH slower than b4, which was no demon itself.

Ligatures - STILL Absent
2.5b4 still does not insert ligatures by menu command.
Have verified existence of Ligs in font (not dfont)
This is an ongoing issue since NWE was released.
Why?
Thanks for your efforts.

Running 1Mac G5, Tiger 10.4.2 1Gig, 160 Gig
Thanks for your efforts.

Screen redraw improved, not perfect
The screen redraw on edit seems to work fine, but still see white lines thru text while scrolling. Screen is redrawn correctly when scroll is stopped.
Overall, interface is pleasant to use and imminently usable.
Good work!
