    you may want to comment on a bug about this too https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=6685
    the terminal in use doesnt seem to accept font changes and its qtterminal not xfce-terminal. install and use the latter to workaround

    Didn't work for me too in the pre-installed qterminal.
    Kali Linux 2020.3 Virtualbox.

    Iffkebygg hit the nail on head with the link to the bug report. Much Thanks.

    You can manually edit the terminal config file to set a fontFamily=FireCoda (no space) and then you will be able to use the Preferences again. Another thread goes into more detail about editing the config file: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...ill-not-change

    Based on the bug report, it doesn't look like the fix will arrive until 2020.4 version.
