Just for info, there's a font page in the standard rich text formatting 
dialog; you may wish
to apply various text styles to a range of content in a control, and 
font is just one of them.

But it doesn't try to be totally identical to a standard dialog, and I'm 
not sure how generally
useful it would be to try to unify a font page and the standard font 
dialog. You'd then be
wanting to do the same for other standard dialogs for consistency, and 
whether they would
actually meet everyone's need for pages in their formatting dialogs is 
unknowable. Maybe it's
something of more theoretical benefit than actual.
