Some of those strings are even not a value:

$ gsettings list-recursively | grep icol; echo $?
1

However, the OP's file does include all the information needed to
restore what ever is wanted, an example from my machine:

$ gsettings list-recursively | grep Sans\ 11
org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Sans 11'
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-font 'Sans 11'
org.gnome.gedit.preferences.print print-font-header-pango 'Sans 11'
org.mate.caja.desktop font 'Sans 11'
org.mate.interface document-font-name 'Sans 11'
org.mate.interface font-name 'Sans 11'
org.mate.pluma print-font-header-pango 'Sans 11'
org.x.editor.preferences.print print-font-header-pango 'Sans 11'
