Hi,

We don't ship fonts in the AppImage, and just use the normal system font
selector which chooses from what you have installed on your system.  So this is
almost certainly going to be some change to the font files in your system, or
(slightly less likely) to the KDE/Qt font selection logic - but won't be a
change to kdenlive as such - we don't care what font you choose, we just pass
that on to the settings in the subtitle file - and we don't even render it,
that happens externally too.

And we definitely do not embed fonts in subtitle files (and almost certainly
shouldn't) - so an important thing to note is that whatever font you choose, it
*must* be available at rendering time, otherwise (in almost every renderer)
some other font that is available will be 'silently' substituted.  If you're
burning the fonts in at render time in kdenlive, that means you must always
have them available on the system you are rendering on - or if you're shipping
the subtitle files separately (or embedding them as subtitle files into a
stream container like mkv) the font must be available on the device you are
playing it on.

Can you confirm that you see this difference if you run both AppImages *today*
on the same machine, and if you do, can you render a test file to confirm the
result from each of them (the rendered appearance of the font, not how the
selector behaves) is different.

At this stage, my first guess would be that something font related on your
system has changed in the meantime, my second is that something got stricter
about confirming the actual variation you selected is supported by the font. 
It's almost certainly not a bug in anything kdenlive has done, but I'm happy to
drill down until we know whats really happening here.
