At first the font dialog showed just any random font the file dialog choosed
to show. Then we showed the previous font (if any) selected by the font
dialog, and "Monospace 10" if no previous font dialog had been used.
Now we try to use the font actually set on the frame. For some unknow reason
Gtk+ has choose to invent its own font syntax that is slightly different from
Xft/Fontconfig syntax. So now we give the font dialog an Fontconfig name, but
it apparently doesn't understand that and uses "Sans 12" instead.
I'll have to investigate, be patient.

You have to put up with it for a while until I made a desicion on how to
proceed. You can always run the old version, or 23.1.
