In Settings Browser (World menu -> System -> Settings)

Again, Sytem Browser
Appearance -> Standard Fonts -> Select an entry , this will open the font
chooser. In the font chooser presse "update" and it will load the available
system fonts.

No, I don't think so. It just prints the class definition, not based on
your input but just the definition. What is the problem with this, why do
you need spaces instead of tabs?

The code for creating a class is just the same as the class definition you
see in the system browser
Object subclass: #NameOfYourNewClass
instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
package: ''
You can evaluate this code in a playground and it will create this class
