It would be great if the GTK font chooser did do that. I can remember 
even back in the days of Windows 3.x Microsoft did that part correctly.

A little off-topic, but it would be great if the GTK font dialog only 
listed real fonts in real sizes. I'm sure that when I'm in "user mode" 
I'm not the only one who finds it confusing that something three or four 
fonts look exactly the same (and they are, it's how fontconfig maps them 
to multiple aliases). This is great for the computer coming up with 
substitutes, but it's bad for users.
