Even in GTK, it's still six fonts (five typefaces). And
that's not counting bold, italics, and underline, which can be specified independently for each of the fonts.
Yes, they *can* but all GTK fonts except font.small and font.text are the same size and the same family, the only other difference being sans or serif.
And font.small and font.text appear [1] to be only used in Embedded.
So I was just making the point in reply to Matthew's suggestion of putting font on all settings that it can be done, but even when it is available it is little used and I doubt it is worth the effort to implement. [2]

[1] limited check only, I am after all more interested in Geany than Scite :) [2] I don't use windows fonts, maybe your milage differs with them
