Hi Sierra Chart Engineering,

First observed in v2849, but not a regression in that build.

The Font Name for the Stationary Text in this simple chartbook shows as "Unset" which appears to be the GetString() default text. (an educated guess)

When you click the font to change it, no font name is selected which matches the Unset/nullptr or something...

The code DOES handle this fine in that text does display, so raising this to you as a "should this ever happen or rather be possible" and also does this point to some random API (Windows or Sierra) error is the chartbook corrupted and perhaps should not be used.

I was helping a customer with an issue that was related to Large Font Sizes not displaying (the OpenGL issue you already know about) and that's when I noticed this issue in their chartbook.
