Before changing the preferences I had a readable font (honestly I do not know 
which).

When I changed the preference not to use the native file dialog (and I have 
just changed that preference). Saving the preferences also changed the font 
used for the command window.

The list of available fonts are all mono (typewriter) fonts. It happens that 
in my case, for some reason that escapes me, I have the CCIcons font installed 
and since the list is ordered alphabetically that font is picked when saving 
the preferences even if I have not selected that font.

I called that "gibberish" fonts because I was taken by surprise. It was 
clearly unexpected, at least for me.

I hope that this explanation makes sense. :-)
