Works OK on linux e.g. set normal font to FreeSansBoldOblique.ttf and it's shown in the display straight away.

Same in OS X (Sierra, and probably all OS X versions) - selected font is not used in preview. While we're at it - shouldn't we give up selection options for bold and italic fonts, as they are software functions of projectors in timed-text mode? Or, are we able to use them at least for burn-in subtitles?

But then we would need a mechanism to also select/switch between these fonts?

The way it is now with the font selection, it must be quite confusing if one wants to verify the effect. Wondering why we don't get more complaints?
