You'll need to find a screencaster here. Currently there's nothing we can do to help with this report.

Maybe i'm wrong but if you expect a bigger font by enlarging the label item, you'll fail. Text font and item size are independent. You have to change font in the label item properties

Thank you for making the screencast. Your screencast shows exactly the same issue that I am having.

Hi,

i have the same problem (and managed to make a screencast - you can do this also with Quicktime Player).

The problem is basically that changes you make to fonts using "Text Format" dialog are not applied. Only when you use the dropdown menu, you can change font styles.

see the screencast for details.

Thanks
Jonas

Yes. This may well be only a Mac OS issue. I have seen it on multiple computers, but all were Mac OS.

Is this a Mac OS specific issue? I can't reproduce elsewhere.

hi again,
is the bug probably related to this in src/gui/qgsguiutils.cpp?

  QFont getFont( bool &ok, const QFont &initial, const QString &title )
  {
    // parent is intentionally not set to 'this' as
    // that would make it follow the style sheet font
    // see also #12233 and #4937
#if defined(Q_OS_MAC) && defined(QT_MAC_USE_COCOA)
    // Native Mac dialog works only for Qt Carbon
    return QFontDialog::getFont( &ok, initial, 0, title, QFontDialog::DontUseNativeDialog );
#else
    return QFontDialog::getFont( &ok, initial, nullptr, title );
#endif
  }

i actually managed to get QGIS compile on my mac (i am really neither a Qt nor a cmake developer) and the build does exhibit the same behavior.

my compiler environment actually evaluates to the #else part of the section which i guess is not intended?

if i apply the following patch i see a more "mac-ish" font dialog and the font is actually applied.

   void saveGeometry( QWidget *widget, const QString &keyName )

as i am not familar with the build setup and not sure what the "correct" approach is i am leaving that here but i guess there may be a very easy fix of this very very annoying problem.

See discussion at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/8585 -- the patch was tested but was unsuccessful in fixing the issue. Can you provide feedback there?

i will.
