Well, what I mean is, let's say an object defaults to Sans. I want it in
Serif (generic Serif). Will GtkFontSelector allow me do do that, without me
having to specifically fish for Sans (and ending up with DIA_FONT_ANY_FAMILY
anyways) ?

Would that reset the family bit to DIA_FONT_SANS (and the two others) if I
select Sans in the GtkFontSelector ?
