View - font has no effect after .config file is corrupted. This is easily repeated, delete .config/dconf/user. mousepad seems to be the only application that can not recover. The only work around is to reinstall xfce. Possibly deleting all of .config, I have not tried that. What will *NOT* work is to remove and reinstall mousepad.
I haven't looked at the cause of this exact issue, but a slightly better work around is to build from source (or rebuild your distro package) with `--enable-keyfile-settings` passed to the `configure` script. This will make Mousepad use a plain text keyfile below `~/.config/Mousepad` to store settings rather than DBus stuff. I'm starting to think maybe the default should be to use keyfiles rather than the GSettings default to use DBus.
At least with 4.12_1 this bug is fixed and can be closed. un-selecting 'use system font' works. I am not sure that option was there in the version I reported this

Thanks for the update.
**ignore me** Fake comment to work around bugzilla bug that won't allow closing tickets without a comment.
