Public bug reported:

Xubuntu 14.04

In Ubuntu, Settings - Appearance - Fonts the user is able to change these fonts:
Application Font
Document font
Desktop font
Window title font
Fixed width font

In Xubuntu, the only font that can be changed is "Default Font". I had expected 
all the font types that are available in Ubuntu.

The removal of the full font config options prevents the user from
changing the system fixed-width font, and others. As a result, if the
user wishes to set the fixed-width font in software (such as Chrome,
Gedit, terminator etc) they have to set it per-application, which is
tedious. When searching for how to set the default fixed-width font on
Xubuntu, I came across this thread, indicating I'm not the only one who
has been puzzled by the removal of these options in the Fonts settings
UI:

Please restore the full list of font types that can be customized to the
UI.
