yes, quite sensible. But how often do you really change fonts? If you do it less
than once in a week (I will do it once and keep that setting) it really doesn't
matter.

I would rather see a possibility to save/restore a gui profile (where colors,
fonts and layout settings are stored). That way one can quickly jump between 
setups. There should of course be a couple of "factory defaults" to choose
from. I have (for about a year :-) planned to do something like that in
khexedit.
