Details:

I have seen other bug reports in the past that where resolved by changing the
font and then both the editor and command windows reflect the change via the
method edit->terminal->font. Command window behaves as expected when changing
fonts.

I upgraded Octave from 4.0.0 to 4.2.2
Control Package 3.0.0 to 3.1.0

Running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Don't know how the font to use information for the editor window is stored.
Guess it's stored in some text file and has a default value that is
misbehaving when Octave can't read from that text file location. Conceivable
could be a file permission problem on some text file that occurred when I
upgraded to 4.2.2.
