Restrict the number of fonts shown in the icon editor

[gsussman]

The new icon editor is much better than the old one, however it would be a nice improvement if the user could restrict the number of fonts that are shown in the dropdown list for the text selection.

Realisticly most developers use what, maybe 2 different fonts when designing icons? Why not allow the developer to choose the fonts they want in the list instead of listing every font installed on the system.

Seriously, has anybody ever used "Script" for their icons?

At the risk of damnation by the Good Icon Goon Squad... yes, I have used script fonts in my icons. I've also used Wingdings and other symbol fonts. I have a number of non-standard small fonts that I've used from time to time.

But I agree with the general sentiment... perhaps instead of removing the other fonts, we could just prioritize the list so that the one or two that are usually used are at the top of the list instead of having "Small Font" buried deep. Alphabatization of the font list is one reason I use Arial so often in my icons.

I added Kudos for the sentiment, though not for the particular implementation.
