or just even more qt like:
\screen_font_roman Family [Foundry]
With the possibilty of having the foundry optional.

| -foundry-family in xforms (or -*-family in foundry is empty)
| family-foundry in QT2 (or family if foundry is empty)
| family [foundry] in QT3 ("")
yes.

mmm
| 4. What should be done in the XForms dialog ?
| The alternatives are:
| - For each font, replace the text input widget by a combox like the QT
| preferences dialog.
I would prefere this one.
| - Create two text input widgets for each font.
| - Leave the dialog unchanged, but allow writing either
| "family" or "-foundary-family" in the dialog input widget.
both these are open for misuse. and are imho a bit too low level.

That would be great.
