The Preferences page loads the font the moment its value is picked, rather than
after Apply: a VT has one font for the whole screen, so the only honest way to
show what the 6x8 build looks like is to load it, and the page is the preview,
repainting at the new row count on the kernel's SIGWINCH. The page tracks what
the console is drawn in right now; staging the saved value again reloads it at
once, Apply keeps whatever is showing (the tool's re-apply after the write then
finds nothing to change), and leaving with a discard reloads the saved font.
Off the handheld the service says no once at page open and is asked nothing
more. Four tests drive the page through each path with the service stubbed.
