Description:
When I change the code editor font, the font picker displays the font correctly but Lazarus uses always the same one, no matter which font I choose. The only thing that changes is the font size and spacing.
In the appended screenshots, You can see that the font I choose is not displayed correctly in the preview of the prefs dialog (and in the code editor).
And the font spacing is weird. It's very uncomfortable to work with this font spacing.
Things I've done:
. Tried all the monospace fonts,
. Uninstalled Lazarus and installed again, renaming the /home/user_name/.lazarus folder to force a clean one,
. Downgraded linux kernel from 5.4 to 5.3,
. Checked font permissions in /usr/share/fonts/,
. Upgraded Lazarus 2.0.6 to the last one offered by pacman (25/12/2019).
Nothing works.
The font picker detects and shows the fonts right. And other apps see and use the fonts correctly.
Steps to reproduce:
Just select a font for the code editor, in the preferences of Lazarus.
