In this respect my patch wouldn't change current behaviour. 
The policy I see is:
If you don't want fonts to change, don't touch the font selector.

When did we go "fonts but only 4 style". Do you mean your first
misinterpretation of the meaning and usage of DiaFontFamily? 
Which reminds me, we could use these bits while saving and
don't save the family name at all if set.

On the other hand the _three_ font family names with a special 
meaning are inherited (and configurable by Pango). They are
'Sans', 'Serif' and 'Monospace' and are already saved as such.
