--- Comment #3 from Christoph Feck <cfeck at kde.org> ---
I analyzed the issue and came to the conclusion that it is a bug in
KFontRequester not correctly handling the font matching since Qt 5.8.0.

The issue is that KFontRequester tries to find the selected font (or the
nearest matching font) in the QFontDatabase. If it finds it there, it actually
updates the selected font to what it found there.

For example, if you had selected "Noto Sans", it will scan the database
including selected weight and style attributes, and find "Noto Sans Regular" as
the best match. Once this match is saved, however, the attributes implied by
the font face name takes precedence over the attributes specified by the
application.
