The colour schemes for most of the widgets are broken and require fixing

The functionality that allows bitmap fonts to be used in the vector scene graph should be further extended to support truetype fonts. This will allow extremely fast text rendering in situations where the client has determined suitability for this optimisation.

The Scintilla class needs to be rewritten to support the new Vector Scene Graph display model.

Desirable additions to the Font Dialog:

• An underline checkbox
• Fill selection for the font (could be a solid colour, gradient or pattern)
• A dialog option that allows the font list to be filtered on: Proportional; Fixed; Proportional and Fixed
• Support for choosing a stroke colour and stroke width
• Italics should be a checkbox, or if the SLNT axis is available, a slider
• Weight (boldness) should be expressed using a dedicated combobox as this is more intuitive for variable fonts
• Consider changing point size to a combobox list.

An executable installer for Windows is needed as a product of each release cycle

The release process should include the creation of a Debian package

Refactor the ColourDialog interface so that it works as a fully scalable vector UI.
