[Github-comments] [geany/geany] choose font: classify families into monospace/proportional (#1928)

[Matthew Brush]

[GtkDialog](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkDialog.html) allows you to [add "action widgets"](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkDialog.html#gtk-dialog-add-action-widget) so it would be relatively trivial to add a checkbox or combobox into it, specific to a particular application.

As for the fonts, you can use [Pango directly to get a list of all fonts](https://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/pango-Fonts.html#pango-font-map-list-families), and it contains information about each font such as [whether they're fixed-width](https://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/pango-Fonts.html#pango-font-family-is-monospace) or such.

There's no real technical hurdles here, the only blockers are 1) who's going to write the code, and 2) is this a feature people want in Geany.
