Font sizes

Hi Eric
Sometime would it be possible to have a bit more flexibility with font sizes? On many drawings at smaller scales (say less than 1:20) but with a lot of dimensioning, 9 is rather a large font, so I tend to use 6 point – otherwise the labels and dimensions overwhelm the drawing.
What might be good was if there were an Edit >> Text ... menu item where a user could set their favourite font sizes to appear in the text menu pane – in much the same way as you can set line thicknesses, arrows etc. For example, I would probably have 6, 8, 9 and 90 in my set, because they are what I use. Other users will set different sizes. I think 8 different sizes plus "other" as now is fine – it would just be good if they could be a personalised 8 instead of pre-set in the program.
I know you can select a different size now, but to have to do it each time you want to use text is a bit wearisome!
I don't know if you would also consider making it possible to apply Bold and Underline to individual words in a block of text, rather than the whole block having to be affected? Not terribly important, but often useful.
