Truetype font selection not remembered #6200

Describe the bug

Latest DOSBox-X, macOS Sequoia 15.7.5.

No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get DOSBox-X to remember the TTF font I selected.

90,857

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Activate TTF output
  2. Save the absolute font /System/Library/Fonts/Menlo, Monaco, SFNSMono etc. in the configuration manually.
  3. Restart DOSBox-X.

I can see the TTF output, but the default font does not change. Normally I would not mind, but it does not have the Turkish characters, so I need to change it. It works, when I select the font from the application “Video” menu, but does not persist.
