Many word processors and text editors have a menu display on the
toolbar where you can select the font to display text in.
We have something like this already, in the Text Properties menu. It
lets you set various aspects of the face, including colors and slant.
But it does not handle the font family (or the size).
The main question is, which fonts should it offer?
What do other programs offer? Can you design a UI to use?
Once we can settle that, this may not be too hard to write.
I am sure you could write it.
