Description

With the recent bigger lapce update, I think the one to the different UI toolkit, it now fails to load any editor fonts. No matter which font name I try, none of them is applied. (It also doesn't even tell me that it failed, but I can see so since I know how the fonts are meant to look like.) However, it also falls back to not-monospace/varied glyph width font for the code which makes this more than a cosmetic problem and actually turns the editor somewhat unusable.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the font selection failure in the Lapce Flatpak, verify that code uses a proportional or varied-width fallback, and identify whether the regression comes from the UI toolkit change; done means configured editor fonts load and the code font is monospace.
