Well, but if (using my hacked fonts panel as an example) the panel were 
modified to let the user choose one of a number of font configurations as 
the principal mode, with a preview in the style of the color panel as 
the main interface, and it offered a way to edit and save the current theme 
as an option, the choice for the user would be easier on a first level (try 
out one of a few font settings until a satisfying one is found), and yet
it would be possible to add more options (e.g. the font to use for tabs and 
group boxes could be customized, given some support in the themes).

Personally I like to use similar fonts on the whole interface, but with 
size/weight/slant variations.
