This is a minor problem because you can see the preview in the preferences
window, and the problem would probably go away if you make your own
font-selection dialog (as you suggested to get around being able to chose
bold, strike-through, etc)

But here's some more analysis of the problem anyway:
the main problem is that the size shown for the bulk of the text isn't the
size selected in the font-dialog. Some contrived examples:
Choosing Small Fonts 2 results in size 7 being shown.
Choosing Arial Unicode MS 14 results in size 13 being shown.
Choosing Small Fonts 19 results in size 16 being shown.
