Thank you very much, this is very nice and useful.
I have by now incorporated a dropdown box to select from preset samples 
(now including 'Default' (the incomplete example I showed first), 
'Glyphs' (so far a stub), 'Scriabine' and 'Berg'). As before it's also 
possible to load one's own file - and I had the idea of allowing to use 
the currently open document to show the effect of fonts! (Well, there's 
a non-trivial limitation to this: as soon as the document has its own 
paper block that will totally overwrite the font settings, so while this 
looks extremely useful it will fail to work in many cases.)
