<cid:part1.02020207.01020200 at hrz.uni-kassel.de>If the font of a button 
is empty and you open the font chooser it displays "none" as the font 
name as it should.

Then after having chosen a font, e.g. "Arial", nothing is visible in the 
"Size" and "Height" fields as a default.

Using the scrollbar of the "size" does not display any option, nor is it 
possible to type anything into the "size" field.

The necessary workaround seems to be - maybe there are more 
possibilities - to check the "Bold" button. After checking "bold" you 
can now type a value into the "Size" field and then you also can use the 
size scrollbar to display other values. Likewise the "Height" field now 
contains values.

When you have saved the "New Button" and reopen the Font Chooser "@Arial 
Unicode MS" is now hilited instead of the originally selected and saved 
"Arial".

Seems we need an overhaul of the Font Chooser.

Sorry to cause extra work for the authors of the Font Chooser, who have 
devoted so much of their valuable time to produce a modern IDE.

Best regards,
