Description Hitman47 2020-09-20 12:11:16 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I select BGR redndering, the compositor reloads but the symlink to load the BGR font profile does not get loaded, the settings returning to RGB when I reopen the page. I have to manually copy the profile file from etc/fonts/conf.avail to /etc/fonts/conf.d/, then the setting will show that it has changed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Settings-Appearance-Fonts - Select subpixel rendering option
2. Apply
3. Go back to the page (reopen menu)

OBSERVED RESULT
Setting returns to RGB

EXPECTED RESULT
Should change to BGR or other setting
