Work in #7784 improved the parsing of font specifications such that spaces are also treated as separators (along with commas).
There is further work:

• Don't crash if the font specification is not properly formatted. Fall-back to the default font (?) just like 4GL does. Eventually log that the font specification was not properly parsed.
• Do an extensive testing on what other characters are considered delimiters (e.g semi-colon, dot, comma, colon, question-mark, etc.). Maybe commas and other characters are irrelevant and should be preprocessed out from the specification.
• Test size phrase better. Is size = 10 the only valid specification? Can we use other symbols in between size and 10, beside or together with =?
• Optional: move to a grammar based parsing of ini files. Currently, they are tokenized using split.
