            Bug ID: 408978
           Summary: systemsettings adds redundant "Regular" style when
                    saving font settings

SUMMARY
systemsettings would add redundant ",Regular" to a font selected to kdeglobals,
making applications unable to use the genuine bold/italics variants provided by
the font.

For example, on my system, when I use systemsettings to change the default
font, programs are forced to used a generated bold version of the font. The
results are very poor.

But if I remove those ",Regular"'s by hand, as is shown in the screenshot, the
outcome is much better, because programs can use the Bold weight provided by
Noto Sans itself.
