Hi Charlemagne,
I do understand the ease of extending a combobox and how it simplifies the job of a programmer, yet I still see it as a UI blunder. The average user expects a combobox to be the control item to change some, for a lack of better word, static aspect in a program. Some kind of choice that's needed to be made and applied to certain objects. That's why you mostly never see commands implemented this way. For commands, you have dedicated buttons, menu items or keyboard shortcuts. But, obviously, it is your program, you design and code it as you see it fit.
I know, that it is possible to edit multi-char sized fonts in the editor as it is now. What I wanted to know is that you do or don't plan to extend the editor in a way that gives better support for the user to this kind of jobs. It is easier to create graphics in WYSIWYG editors.
I meant by map/level editor such a specialised functionality that enables the user to create tiles from the edited characters, and place these tiles onto a virtual surface to create game maps or levels.
