Yes, definitely!!! This is what the user manual implies. And I can see no
reason why free-font should behave differently from the popup. In
particular, as it relies on the settings in the popup (to a certain
extend, at least).

Well, I have no opinion on that. Just make it consistent. As I have
pointed out before, a typical application of the character dialog is to
change the font size of a large section of text. In this case, I don't
want the text size to toggle (there might the case, that the user has
changed the size for some portion of the text; then the the size shouldn't
be toggled).
