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

I guess you see [this](https://www.google.ca/search?q=GtkFontSelectionDialog&rlz=1C1CHBD_enCA809CA809&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjF0c6hoYfdAhV9CTQIHUuWCcAQ_AUICygC&biw=1242&bih=602). I'm a bit luckier, as on my installation of Geany in Windows 7, I get [that](https://www.google.ca/search?q=GtkFontChooserDialog&rlz=1C1CHBD_enCA809CA809&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiwhc_UoYfdAhXXwcQHHQdlAB0Q_AUICygC&biw=1242&bih=602), so it at least keeps the sub-variants of every family in a separate box.
My guess is, that's because  in my installation: `15:54:44: Geany INFO		: GTK 2.24.32, GLib 2.54.3` , and so my Geany uses [GtkFontSelectionDialog](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFontSelectionDialog.html), which is said to be "deprecated", while your Geany uses newer Gtk with [GtkFontChooserDialog](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFontChooserDialog.html). 
So maybe Geany should stick to GtkFontSelectionDialog ?
Just saying...
