Do you know how I can "register" fonts for
    Edit | Preferences | Fonts&Colors | Western | 
	{serif | sans-serif | monospace}
?

When I click 'Western', I'm given the same 15 options for 'serif',
'sans-serif', and 'monospace' fonts.  If I wanted to use different
fonts, how do I go about it?  Perhaps, approaching from that direction
may produce the desired result.
