Comment 14 for bug 343186

A few things need to be implemented (in rough order of planned implementation order):

* Have "Insert" button apply the selected glyphs directly into the currently selected text object.
* Display preview using the selected font
* Drag text/glyphs directly to the canvas
* Fix copy-n-paste safely on all platforms (OS X is especially troublesome in this regard)
* Add an option to a drop menu to drop and convert to glyphs.

The first two are probably doable in the immediate time frame. Dragging to the canvas will take changes to our context mechanism, so will take a while to get in robustly. The latter two are somewhat independent issues. Definitely feel free to add individual bugs on those last three points.
