Hello. Due to how KConfig >= 5.68 deals with font settings (it drops the sytleName QFont property
when for "Regular"-like font styles when the settings so that setBold(true) can work properly),
invoking the font selection dialog from the fonts KCM in Plasma 5.18 could lead to the wrong style
getting selected in the dialog (QFontDialog in 5.18), the issue was reported in [1] and has been
fixed in 5.18 branch with [2]. Since this is an LTS release of Plasma, you may want to include that
commit.
Note that the issue should be non-existent in the master branch as the fonts KCM has been switched
to use KFontChooserDialog (which has that logic built-in among other features).
Have a good day.
