Different Fonts Support in VSE Text Editor

Hi there,

I saw there was a request for this about a year ago. I would just like to add to the suggestion.

I think the ability to change the font of the text in the VSE would be a great addition. If I understand it correctly the text strip is just an effect laid over the video, which may complicate an addition like this. But I don't actually know it works for sure.

My suggestion would be to add a font selector, much like in the 3D view. Since the effect strip knows it's a text object it makes sense to me that the font selector would go here. Maybe with the ability to add underlines and italics and such.

I saw in other suggestions to create a mockup image of what it might look like in Blender, but I don't really know how to do that. So I just included an image of the effect strip options for text.
