Summary	0006727: Qterminal unable to change font if fontFamily value is null or invalid
Description	Follow-up to other reports related to: 0006685 Although the latest fix in 2020.4.1 appears to resolve the issue of changing the font from the terminal preferences menu when a new terminal starts with Fire Cuda (default) or other Font, the ability to apply the preferences from menu does not work when the qterminal.ini value is nulle for fontFamily= or has any invalid value. On previous versions such as 2020.2, the fontFamily could be null or any invalid name, and the preferences menu would still apply a new font. Tested with latest update: http://http.kali.org/pool/main/k/kali-themes/kali-themes-common_2020.4.1_all.deb
Steps To Reproduce	Edit qterminal.ini. Delete the name of the font in fontFamily= Save the file open terminal Select File Select Preferences... Appearance (Font name is blank) Click Change and select any font Click OK (selected Font does not show in the Appearance screen) Click Apply Changes do not take affect since no font appeared as selected

daniruiz 2020-09-18 12:09 manager ~0013448	Thanks for the report! Unfortunately, the issue was caused by Qt's core libraries, there was no change either in Qterminal or kali-themes. The update on kali-themes was only to fix the font name (as it wasn't valid anymore after qt's update) but the real issue still remains inside Qt so there is nothing we can do to fix it.
