Mmh, good idea. I'm sometimes too lazy too look at the API of things like QFont
;-)
Yes, implement it in this way, please!

The key shortcuts are created in the BIbleTime mainclass. So you dan't have to
think about it :-)

BTW, is the foreign font manager working ? I see the fontchooser but no foreign
fonts or havn't you simply forgot to disable the parts if no module using
foreign fonts i installed?
