Abstract: Technologies are described herein for seamless and automatic updating of fonts in a user interface. An example method includes receiving a selection of a portion of text in a document. The portion of the text is rendered in a first font. The method further includes receiving a request to update or change the first font for the selected portion of the text, displaying a font listing of available fonts in response to the received request, and receiving a selection of a second font from the font listing. The second font is a font available from a font service. The method also includes initiating an asynchronous download of the second font from the font service, and in response to the asynchronous download of the second font being complete and successful, refreshing or re-rendering of the selected portion of the text in the second font.

Abstract: A context menu in an application user interface displays a context indicator in response to user interaction that places an insertion pointer or selects content in the application user interface. The context indicator is configured to invoke a floating menu having a set of contextual commands. The contextual commands of the floating menu include a parent command that is configured to open a submenu. The submenu includes a plurality of submenu commands associated with the parent command. The context menu displays a selectable button appended to the context indicator without presenting the underlying floating menu and submenu. The selectable button is configured to execute a predicted command that corresponds to one of a contextual command of the floating menu or a submenu command of the submenu.
