I installed the Debian packages fonts-freefont-otf and fonts-freefont-ttf. I can see the fonts in the editor selection window but Padre will not accept them. I tried the advanced settings for the font and the window showed the change but all reverted to the old font afterward. This is an important issue for Perl 6 since one of the unicode operators (U+1D452) does not display with the default font. There may be another font that shows the character, but I think the issue is not using the font that is selected.
