Bug ID: 509235
Summary: AppImages do not automatically adapt to system font
changes
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.4
Reported In:
Platform: EndeavourOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
On KDE Wayland, AppImage applications do not automatically adapt to system font
changes. Instead, you need to restart the application first. For example, if I
change from 'Noto Sarif 10-point' to 'Monospace 14-point', neither the font nor
the size changes; I have to first close out of then reopen, at which point the
text will have changed.
I originally found this testing PCSX2, but I confirmed it in the Kdenlive
AppImage. Neither Flatpaks nor applications installed using pacman appear to
have this problem.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an AppImage application.
2. While the application is open, go to Texts & Fonts and change the font style
and/or size under 'General'.
OBSERVED RESULT
* The font will not change in the application.
* However, it will update automatically in your non-AppImage applications.
* If you close out of and reopen the AppImage application, the font is now
updated accordingly.
EXPECTED RESULT
AppImages should update fonts automatically like Flatpaks and Arch packages.
