Hmm, this section may be better to divide an item
respectively.

2.1. If it's dia internal function, uses a default font item
     for dia internal.
2.2. If it needs gnome-print function, uses a default font
     item for gnome-print.
2.3. If it needs freetype function, uses a default font item
     for freetype.

AT> Please any comments.
