I haven’t been able to spot a code path that could explain that and it doesn’t seem to happen now so… haunted image?

I’ve tried this again in a recent image - I tried a 16963 update- and 'World menu’->’appearance’->’system fonts’-> ‘default text font’, then choose a font and apply. Whoosh, desktop pattern changes.

Funny thing is this won’t repeat. And it doesn’t happen in a completely plain image, only one where I had loaded my.prefs some time previously; and yet not in a plain 16549 image where I loaded my.prefs and tried the font change. Curiouser and curiouserer. I can offer a sample image if anyone (like say, Marcel or TimF) is interested.
