Subject: 25.3; Font selector fails to remember current font and size
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:02:21 -0400

  Open the "Options" menu, select the "Set Default Font" action.
  You can select a font, but the default offered is not based on the
  font and size currently in use, which makes it quite a pain to select
  a variant of what is currently used: for instance, you want one size
  less or more while keeping the same font (that you don't know the name
  of), or you want to try another font in the same family (that you
  don't remember the exact name of).

  Relatedly, a very useful yet missing option would be one that filters fonts
  to only display monospace fonts.

There is unfortunately no way to tell the Gtk font selector to do stuff
like that, so this is currently impossible to do, as far as I can tell.
So I'm closing this bug report.

gtk_font_chooser_set_font? We already use that to set the default family, but we
donʼt remember the size or the style.

Yes, the problem is that apparently gtk_font_chooser_set_font doesn't
allow you to specify those either.  Or much of anything else, for that
matter.  At least that seemed to be the case when I looked at this some
time back.

You canʼt directly specify them, but you can at least remember the
previous settings:

    Remember the full GTK font description
    
    Remember the full font description instead of just the family so that
    size/style/weight settings are preserved.
