That's certainly possible, but we don't exactly have a replacement.

I've turned off the frame local font menu option, does that not make
things better?

The new custom is not compatible with the old, and would necessitate
waiting for completion of Gnus 5.4 and the latest round of w3 changes.

19.15 has got to be released ASAP.  My sanity requires it.  Two source
code trees is driving me mad, and is getting in the way of doing more
useful things than applying every patch twice, etc.

We will be moving to the new custom in time, and I hope to see it
(after the interface to it has been cleaned & prettied up) become the
standard mechanism for customizing the whole editor.  I don't think
now is the right time.
