Font selection does not persist between sessions

Font selection does not persist between sessions

When I change the font in the Text tool (e.g. from the default C059 to Ubuntu), the change works within the current session but reverts to C059 after restarting Gradia.

Looking at the dconf schema, the tool-config key does contain a "font" field for each tool, but the UI does not write the updated font value back to dconf on change.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Gradia
2. Select the Text tool
3. Change the font from C059 to any other font (e.g. Ubuntu)
4. Add some text — the selected font is applied correctly
5. Close Gradia and reopen it
6. The font is reset to C059 🐛

Expected behavior:
The selected font should persist between sessions, just like color selections do.

Workaround:
Manually set the font via dconf:

dconf write /be/alexandervanhee/gradia/tool-config "$(dconf read /be/alexandervanhee/gradia/tool-config | sed 's/"font": "C059"/"font": "Ubuntu"/')"

Environment:

• Gradia 1.12, snap
• Ubuntu 24.04, Wayland, GNOME
