    This is definitely weird.

    Long story short, my page is filled with textboxes. I create textboxes and filled them up with text using the same typeface. Once all the textboxes are created I go back and arrange them (snapping to grid, occasionally using alignment tool) and change the typefaces. Each textbox has one or two typefaces each.

    I'm running into an issue where when I open up Inkscape later to continue working on the same file (svg) that some of the typefaces have changed. I'm trying to figure out if some of the text is reverting back to what it was before I highlighted it to change the typeface.

    It's just strange. It's so like the elves making shoes for the cobbler except in my case the typeface changes that are happening aren't helpful 🤣

    It's not a huge deal as it is only affecting a small amount of the textboxes, but I'm very concerned that this might could be an issue when the svg file is saved as a PDF and I either convert text to path or embed the fonts. I need to know that the typefaces in that file will remain as I've set them.

    Thank you for any guidance.

    Please provide an example file that has the issue.
