Using dropdown lists for the text fonst is something I'd like to avoid. 
These are currently used in the "Document fonts" dialog, and I find them 
extremely clunky when you have large numbers of fonts installed. But I 
think it'll be possible to create something similar where the pull-down 
part is not the flat formatted font-name list but something derived from 
what the text font tab currently shows.

Similarly a "Music font" pull-down doesn't have to be limited to the 
font name. It could be a row with checkboxes, just like in the current 
version of the Music Fonts tab.
