159227 - Appearance Pref - Font Sizes Won't Stick

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Gerry Singh]

Trying to change the Serif and Sans Serif to use Genevea 14 but Chimera keeps changing it to Geneve 16. Can not get it to use/remember Geneva 16.

Also, shouldn't we be able to choose to use Serif OR Sans Serif for display default?

Does this still happen in the Chimera 0.4 release?

You've probably already checked, but yes, it does occur with 0.4 official and it's also occuring with build 2002072505. I believe this problem has been there since 'Appearance' became a preference.
 
It will remember the font but not the size - it keeps changing the size back to 16.

It seems it works only in tandem with the Cursive font size: you have to set all 
three (Serif, Sans-serif, Cursive) to the same size for it to work.

Comment 7

[Jeffrey Cho]

As a matter of fact, just changing the font size for Cursive causes the other
two to change to the same size as well.

The issue is that the prefs backend only stores one size for all proportional
fonts, so the last one you change will stick (approximately). The UI needs to be
redesigned.
