Description Sebastien Bacher 2004-06-07 21:35:21 UTC 
This bug has been reported in the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/246772

"gedit does not use the standard font dialog in File->Page Setup->Fonts.
(The standard font dialog I refer to is the one used by
gnome-font-properties.) The biggest problem with the gedit font dialog
is that if you try to change the font, it will reset your selection to
the first font and style available-- not what was originally set-- thus
forcing you to find the font you wanted again (when perhaps all you
wanted to do was change the font size, for example). This is a huge
problem for people who need to print in various fonts.

Please do not change this to wishlist, because it is an actual bug--
unexpected behavior inconsistent with the GNOME standard."
Comment 1 Paolo Maggi 2004-06-08 08:17:47 UTC 
It will be fixed for GNOME 2.8

I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate of bug #143877 since the proposed
patch will fix it.
