Description

### Problem description

This makes it harder to use a consistent font on a project.

### Workbench affected?

Sketcher

### Steps to reproduce

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1b0d7e93-7efe-475f-b1fd-9cd002cb571b

### Expected behavior

Font selection should be persisted between sessions. I would say that width mode/height mode should also be preserved between sessions.

### Actual behavior

The same default font is used every time.
