It was actually a change in gsettings-desktop-schemas in the 3.31.91
days back in February. But mousepad apparently now defaults to
using dconf (which is even more gnome-specific in my view), if I
read the page correctly the other day, so it gets affected by this
gnome change.
I would have thought there ought to be a setting in mousepad to
change the font when first using the new version, and to save that ?
And what happens on a fresh install if no changes have been made and
Source Code Pro has not been installed ?
The defaults in gsettings were changed from Cantarell 11 to Sans 11
and Monospace 11 to Source Code Pro 10.
At the time Douglas asked me, and I apparently suggested the
following patch (along with a bigger one which seems pointless and
perhaps backwards), but also suggested that a sed might be more
BLFS-ish (and likely to break on a future similar upstream change).
But I don't recall what, if anything, resulted (obviously, 3.31.91
was a development release and never got used in the book).

affected) we probably ought to be doing something.
