I'd like the ability to have a few more fonts (calibri if possible, something more compact at any rate), and to be able to make them smaller than 8, as even that looks huge depending on what scale you're using for a given map. I also noticed that the true black option for font color doesn't actually seem to work, it just goes to the darkest grey. I'm trying to leave notations on a fairly complex map, and it just isn't working well at the moment.
Its also irksome that you have to use the select tool on a text object to be able to modify it, the text settings don't come up while you are actually using the text box.
