     Customize the font of the application is essential when working on a 
software similar to a spreadsheet. Also do not think it's better to have to 
change the system font to improve the display of content by using PSPP.
     
     "Typically I work with a monospaced font, as I find the most logical use 
when setting numerical fixed column widths, and is a bit inconvenient to have 
to change the font preferences every time I open a new file."
     
     
     As mentioned "Hugo Alejandro", some users opt to use monospaced fonts for 
better adapt to the options offered by PSPP or a font that fits better 
numerical content vs label content.
     
     
     In any case, remove the option to configure the fonts would be a negative 
for PSPP.

     I'm skeptical whether this is a good idea.  In fact, I'm not sure why we 
even have
     a fonts dialog in PSPP.  Normally, user preferences like font size are 
chosen by the 
     desktop environment and applications respect the prefered sizes.

      seems to be a good thing. In windows, I usually change the font size for 
greater, as the system establishes an 8-point font by default (Windows XP)
