#9747: StyledEdit: add the ability to set the default font

Currently, when we open a new session of StyledEdit and we start to
typing, StyledEdit will use, as default, the font which is set as "Plain
font" inside the Appearance preflet.
In my humble opinion this could be wrong: the "Plain font" is mainly used
for Desktop's icons, Tracker's icons, for the context menu on Desktop and
inside every application.
Look at my case: as Plain font i use "Roboto" from Google, which looks
very nice as system font, but used in StyledEdit is very poor, since in
"Appearance" i have set a size of 13 px for this font, and inside
StyledEdit is too much tiny and generally doesn't look very good for a
text editor.
And as another example, an user could also set an artistic or another
particular font as Plain font in Appearance, which will looks bad for a
text editor (StyledEdit). And since we have the ability to choose system
fonts, could be nice also have the same ability for the text editor
StyledEdit: an user could have his preferred font for text typing :-)
