What Happened?
In Preferences/Interface "Use system font" was active. The system document font was changed using dconf-editor. The appearance of the loaded documents did not change.
Steps to Reproduce
Load some documents
Choose "Use system font" in AppMenu/Preferences/Interface
Change the system font
Observe documents do not change until reloaded
Expected Behavior
The documents should update as soon as the system document font is changed in the same way as the Terminal pane updates when the system monospace font is changed.
