archive of screenshots demonstrating the problem

I just tried version Version: 6.2.3.0.0+ and the problem remains for me.  I
have attached an archive containing a series of screenshots of the following
steps:

1. Open the database.
2. Edit the form.
3. Open the table control properties dialog.  Notice Font "Default"
4. Press the ellipses (...) button.  Notice selected font.
5. Change the font size.
6. Press OK, bringing focus back to the table control properties.
7. Close the table control properties.
8. Save and close the form editor.
9. Edit the form editor again.
10. Open the table control properties.  Notice Font = "Default"

This is what I am trying to report.  I expect this field to say something other
than "Default"!

Now, from the "Character" dialog displayed in step 4, it is impossible for me,
or anyone else for that matter, to determine which of the fonts offered are
"installed".  However, instead of just changing the font size, if I randomly
select a different font, say, "Ubuntu Mono, Regular, 24" (pics 11, 12, and 13),
the font DOES change.

Finally, if I change the font back to the one that was selected before,
"Ubuntu, Regular, 28", the font that was previously displayed as "Default", the
font field in the properties dialog now displays the correct font. (pics
14-16).  If the original font was not "Installed", the Font setting in the
dialog should have changed back to "Default".

Therefore, whether or not the font is "installed" is irrelevant in my view. 
Perhaps the problem is that the font name must be changed to get the font
setting in the dialog to update.  This is not intiutive behaviour.

The attached archive also contains the database, when opened, which displays
"default" for the font setting.  Once the font is changed, the effect is
permanent for the database.  To reproduce the problem, you have to start from a
database that is exhibiting the problem.
