<p>It's horrible how it lists every single variant/style of every single font in huge text that doesn't even follow the size control at the bottom.</p>

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