While rendering is identical, the solution in the patch seems to transfer the problem to those _editing_ text in existing files created with Inkscape's prior default font ('Sans') or e.g. with 'Monospace':
- The text tool controls bar can't style an "unknown" font ('Sans', 'Monospace', …):
The style selector has no effect (bold, italic, etc.), and does not reflect how the font is actually rendered on-canvas.
- Inconsistent information about font name:
The 'Text and Font…' dialog and the status bar show a different font name ('sans-serif', 'monospace') than the text tool controls bar ('Sans', 'Monospace').
