     * Redesign font embedding options in sfx2/uiconfig/ui/documentfontspage.ui
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158588
       + improve help (Dieter, bug 130185)
       + dummy text with no embedded font = 28k, with all options on = 22000k
         with "only used" 927k, with all but limited to latin = 1800k
       + disable CTL & CJK depending on options and
       + check by default and disable the "Only used fonts" unless
         the first option "Embed fonts" is activated (Heiko)
       + if the document contains and CTL/CJK font it would be
         pointless to exclude them when saving used fonts only;
         and the other option makes not much sense alone (Rafael)
       + font scripts options needs a dev check
       => do it
    
     * FORMCONTROLS Enhancement: Fill Cell with Text Box in Calc
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158273
       + check/enable anchor to cell (resize with cell) and fit to cell size
         by default (Heiko)
       + changing this makes users needy and they may ask for better chart
         positioning, for example; how about a dedicated command to
         achieve the goal (Rafael)
       + could also be done per macro (Sahil)
       + goal was here to insert/manipulate many form controls; the workflow
         with copy/paste is tedious as cursor down or enter does not
         behave like at normal cells; which could be changed (Heiko)
      => comment
    
     * Incorrectly export number 0 form calc to PDF
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158533
       + option to show/include zero is on by default and one has to disable
         it intentionally
       + same behavior on Excel
       + dependency to some archived PDF format is unclear
       => ask the ESC
    
     * New sidebar deck for comments
       + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106316
       + splitter to expand the comments margin (Jim)
       + comments in margin is sufficient for ordinary users (John)
       + vertical space in margin is not enough for academia; management
         is missing, eg. to find unresolved comments (Rafael)
       + sidebar has limited vertical space
         + but allows the list being unsynchronized ie. many comments on one
         single page overlapping each other
       + requirements: add filter by status, eg. resolved
         no urgent need for the procrastination option "hide temporarily"
    + mockup design: take the Onlyoffice example https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=191371; sort is
         missing; referenced text should be visible in the sidebar pane
       + enhancements: predefined responses? might be useful for some (Rafael),
         but should be done resp. the list filled by users (Sahil)
       + replace the comments in margin or amends it (John)
       => improve the mockup and ask the community in a blog post
