Ok. I had just started looking at the toolbar font widget and seeing
that the fancy version would be a lot of work. I will plan just the simple
version.

I will start looking at this.

The Lang page and Desk page should be completed. The display
page looks pretty good but does not resize a good as it should. I
had to put a fixed height and width on the  KHTMLPart viewer  so
that it did not get to tall and wide. It originally was the widget
making the overall Config dialog to large.

KHTMLView does not work well with a Perferred sizePolicy that lets
it expand only to fill the available space. It expands and causes the
containing widget to get large. Some widgets have only a default
sizeHint() which returns "invalid" for the size. To fix the problem
a widget needs to be subclassed and add a sizeHint() with a valid
size. It is not easy to subclass with a KHTMLPart because the
KHTMLView is not created directly but it obtained from the
KHTMLPart. I should be able to fix it by putting the KHTMLView
into a new widget that is just a container for the view. I can then
subclass this new widget and add the sizeHint(). This is how the
resizing is working correctly in the CFontChooser.
