The current M-g bindings are:

M-g d           facemenu-set-default
M-g b           facemenu-set-bold
M-g i           facemenu-set-italic
M-g l           facemenu-set-bold-italic
M-g u           facemenu-set-underline
M-g o           facemenu-set-face

What if enriched mode had these (equally logical) bindings instead:

C-c C-d         facemenu-set-default
C-c C-b         facemenu-set-bold
C-c C-i         facemenu-set-italic
C-c C-l         facemenu-set-bold-italic
C-c C-u         facemenu-set-underline
C-c C-o         facemenu-set-face

(and C-c d, C-c b, etc as well).

If other modes would like to use these bindings as well, it could be
a separate minor mode, e.g. enriched-face-mode, that could be enabled
by enriched mode by default.
