Just in case any developer is reading this.

First of all CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS SO MUCH for this wonderful and extremely practical program.

I would like to suggest a few things I think could improve the application in future versions:

Just in case any developer is reading this.

First of all CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS SO MUCH for this wonderful and extremely practical program.

I would like to suggest a few things I think could improve the application in future versions:

- Type Font independent in different areas.
Right now it is possible to change the size and type of the font used in all the windows, all at once, but it would be lovely to have this control individually for every different window. For example, I would like to reduce the size in the Dictionary and Glossary, but to increase it in the writing main area.

- Glossary coincidences underlined in blue.
This was a very practical feature of previous versions that I haven´t seen in 3.1.9.4.
I am not sure if there is a way of configuring the program so that it appears again.

- Versatile dictionaries.
As far as I now the StarDict project is dead since years ago, which renders this feature quite underused.
It would be great to take advantage of this not good situation and create a whole new dictionary system, quite similar to the glossary, wich is lovely for it´s extreme simplicity. It would be great to have a way in wich users could make them and contribute them. And simple ones like the Babylon ones, just to get an idea (I have found the exhaustive dictionaries quite unusable due to their huge amount of information).

- More free automatic translators.
As far as I know right now only the Microsoft Translator is free, and limited to 2million characters/month.
I know this is not in OmegaT team´s hand, but it would be great.

Once again, THANKS A LOS FOR THIS FANTASTIC PROGRAM.

The best place to submit a suggestion is on Sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/p/omegat/feature-requests/

Of course, it's often useful to discuss them first in the user group:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/OmegaT/info

- Type Font independent in different areas.

This was already requested.
Able to use different font for search results

Allow to change font of dictionary pane
https://sourceforge.net/p/omegat/feature-requests/902/

Allow defining different font for segment source and target text

This didn't change. Options > TransTips > Enable TransTips.

Apertium (online and offline) and Yandex are free.
