Comment (by jscipione):

 Replying to [comment:9 dknoto]:
 > I found them, but it is bit confusing for me, in Polish "Czcionka" is
 not the same as "Czcionka i rozmiar", ("Font" != "Font & Size").

 In English there is enough ambiguity around what "Font" means that it
 works. According to Merriam Webster a font is "an assortment or set of
 type or characters all of one style and sometimes one size" so combining
 font family and font size together is defensible.

 There should be 3 menu levels, first to pick the the font family (DejaVu
 Mono, VL Gothic, Courier New, etc.), then the font style (book, bold,
 italic), and then finally the font size.

 > I prefer "Font Selector Dialog" and I'm slowly working on this.

 Yes, that is the real solution, anything less involves compromise.
