It makes more sense to me to have a "font" capplet with 3 or 4 font
pickers (application font, desktop font, title font) than to have a
"font" capplet with one option menu, then other fonts scattered in
other capplets, with "use same font as other applications"
checkbuttons above their font pickers. If it's all in the same capplet
you have everything under the word "font" where users might look for
it, and you have fewer total buttons and controls.
