Yes, I tend to agree with Gerhard here. I took a look at the very 
limited documentation of the Font protocol in the Thing doc and that 
doesn't seem as complete as the MagiC extensions (if I'm not mistaken, 
that's what they really are, Wdialog was just a hack for non-MagiC 
systems).

I mean, if XaAES implements functions such as objc_wedit(), also 
MagiC-specific functions, and we are encouraged to use them, why should 
it be any different with the font library?
