IMO, font specifications belong in the colour scheme files for each available style. This way not only could you set the line numbers font, but every other font (braces, comments, function names, etc.).
No, fonts should definitely be under UI control where they are now. Having to change every filetype file just to make the text larger is a bad thing (tm).
No, with colorschemes, you just change one file and it applies to every filetype. It makes no sense to have some parts of the (font) styling like colours and bold and italics specified in the color schemes while other parts like the font face and size to be specified through the UI.
The *best* thing would be to have the color schemes be editable through the GUI (like TextMate, for example), but this is substantially more work.
If you could set the font face and size through the colour scheme, you could leave the GUI setting as a global/default that takes effect if not specified elsewhere (ie. in the color schemes).
