The displayed information is directly taken from Qscintilla's lexers but
not how they are shown and formatted in the settings dialog.

To my knowledge, the default font is used when no font is explicitly set
and the grid height expands to the necessary size when no height is set.
But I had put a QGroupBox with fixed size around the grid layout which
probably prevented the grid from expanding. After Ben's changeset the
box is expanding and the workspace tab looks good even for very large fonts.
