Hmm, this button is really just a frontend to the font selection dialog.
Since the dialog has the three fields name, style and size, I could
imagine adding the style (optionally) to the button, so that you could
get 

+-------------------------+
| sans | bold italic | 12 |
+-------------------------+ 

instead of

+-----------+
| sans | 12 |
+-----------+

but strikethough is not in the font selection dialog. Aren't boldness,
italicness and strikethrough of the font typically governed by separate
controls in office applications anyway ? At least thats what I see in
gnumeric and abiword and what I seem to remember from MS Word.
