Description glampimail42 2026-01-15 15:11:34 UTC
SUMMARY
When I open "System Settings/Text & Fonts/Fonts", choose a font and put any font features in the appropriate field, they don't get applied.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings/Text & Fonts/Fonts
2. Set "Fixed width" font to Fira Code, with the font feature "ss05" (this displays a different style of the "@" symbol)
(2.5.) Type "@" in the sample field - the correct style of the symbol is displayed
3. Press "Apply"
(3.5.) Open the font selection window again - the "ss05" feature is still there
4. Close System Settings, then open System Settings/Text & Fonts/Fonts again
5. Open fixed width font selection - the "ss05" font feature is gone

OBSERVED RESULT
The "ss05" feature does not get preserved when System Settings are closed.

EXPECTED RESULT
"ss05" feature gets preserved.
