SUMMARY
Currently, it is very hard to find the font you want when just scrolling through the font list. I know that when you type in the font name it gets autoselected, but that feature is hard to discover, since there isn't a search bar shown or anything. Also, with fonts like Noto Sans, it becomes difficult to find the 'Font Style', because Noto Sans has a huge list of Font Styles and also because they are in a seemingly haphazard order. It would be better to have two search fields, for the Font and the Font Style, so that the process of finding fonts is easier. 
A suggestion (but just a suggestion): Somewhat like how the 'File Associations' section does it.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to the 'Fonts' section, and try to change the 'General' font to 'Noto Sans' with Font Style as 'SemiCondensed'

OBSERVED RESULT
Very hard to search for it, because the styles are apparently not sorted by alphabetical order

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a way to type in the name to search for it.

The dialog comes from Qt; you'll need to file a bug report at https://bugreports.qt.io/
