As it is likely only gtk3, it wouldnt be a solution that would work everywhere
and the better solution would be to have live preview of the font change with
the text in the document rather for an arbitrary sentence in a dialog. I used
to use standalone apps on Windows that used to provide this features. (

Definitely a nice feature to have of filtering out the font list. Would suggest
that you suggest this in another enhancement bug report, as it is outside of
the scope of this one.
