Right, the fractional part is annoying. And you're not likely to ever
_feel_ the difference between e.g. 14.4 and 14. So I just removed the
fractional part, now what you see above the slider is always a whole
number between 1 and 100.

Are you sure you really need every of the 100 values? We can give them
to you but only by making the slider about twice longer than it is.
Most likely you use a number of "convenient" values, like 2, 10, 50,
etc. All of them are in the right-click menu. Most are also easy to
drag to, maybe not entirely precisely but the error should be
noticeable. Again, if you think that e.g. the 1..10 range is more
important than 10..100, let's make it logarithmic, so that 1..10 takes
a half of the range and 10.100 takes the other half. It's easy to do,
though you will have to re-adjust to the new meaning of the numbers,
e.g. that 20 is now a small mass about the same as 5 before, and 50 is
similar to the old 10, etc.

Sure. You already have it for Calligraphic - the presets list on the
left with the Save button. Right now broken though :) I'll fix it.
