Hmm, I like the idea. But what I'd like even better is when it would be
possible to just drag&drop a font on a widget and having the widgets
instantaneously change appearance.

I believe the comparable context menu item for images is "Set as
background (...)". So for consistency I'd suggest phrasing it like 'Set as
application font'. I agree that "application font" doesn't sound very
clear. Perhaps "screen font" would be better?
