#74 Fonts are not loaded correct from options.dat

[Frank-Christian]

Hi,

sometimes ScidvsPC does not load the saved fonts from options.dat. The fonts are correct saved in options.dat Instead, it sets for all fonts (regular, menu, small fixed) the same font in the same size. See attached screenshot. Scid vs PC version is 4.25

Hmmm... Could well be wayland related. Can you reproduce the bug under xorg?

Same under X11

I can't reproduce this bug at all, but tk font code / xorg is not very solid AFAICS.
What version of Tcl are you using ? (about dialog).

Edit - i'd defintely try disabling Plasma... another super-bug-free piece of OSS ;)

Just looking at all the excess fonts Ubuntu has on my system... they really slowed down ScidvsPC's fixed-font dialog as there were over 400 fonts. So, I followed the instructions (linked below) to remove most of the foreign language ones. Hopefully nothing gets too broken. i did have to reinstall scidvspc to clean the font cache (or something).
