Perhaps the PreferenceValue could hold the types/description too to 
help tools...
FreeTypeSettings class>>monitorTypeLCD
  <preference>
  ^ MonitorTypeLCD ifNil: [
         MonitorTypeLCD := PreferenceValue
               name: 'LCD monitor type'
               type: #Boolean
               value: false
               default: false
               decsription: 'Use of a LCD...']
could be ok for me, anyway what do you think of:
FreeTypeSettings class>>monitorTypeLCD
  <preference: 'LCD monitor type' type: #Boolean decsription: 'Use of a 
LCD...'>
  ^ MonitorTypeLCD ifNil: [ MonitorTypeLCD := PreferenceValue value: 
false default: false]
Name, type and description are only useful from PreferenceBrowser point 
of view (preference helper)
whereas a PreferenceValue is concerned by its value and its default.
or simply  :

FreeTypeSettings class>>monitorTypeLCD
  <preference:'LCD monitor type' type:#Boolean decsription:'Use of a LCD...'>
  ^ MonitorTypeLCD ifNil: [MonitorTypeLCD := PreferenceValue default:false]
