Screen goes blank when trying to select a font in appearance settings

Will be fixed in the next major public build!

Meanwhile if you run into this, try to figure out if you have some unusual font installed on your mac that doesn’t belong to a font family. In code, this seems to be caused by some font reporting its font family value to be NULL.

Credits to @n0c for the help debugging this issue!

Thanks so much for all the help, @Licat

I can confirm that deleting the offending font files fixes the issue! It took me some time to find them, though.

In my case, these font files were installed to the ~/Library/Fonts folder, but they did not appear in the Font Book app. I think that I previously generated those fonts from WOFF files, and the 'name' table did not transfer over.
