Bug Description

On Ubuntu 8.10, I experience serious problems with Freemat (installed from official repository).

The application starts OK, but when I open the script editor, message about improper font pops up. When I change the font in the setting, the freemat just freezes when exiting the editor (the editor window stays opened, but does not react, and so does also the main freemat window). If font settings are not changed, exiting the editor results into the infinite loop of wrong-font-setting-warning dialog.

I tried to change font setting in the freemat conf files, but i did not fing the proper place. I also tried to run freemat from the terminal looking for some error messages, but none appeared on the freeze nor during the forced exit.
