[TxMt] TM2: fontName/Size override in .tm_properties has no effect

I had set the font of my project/folder via the View->Font menu to "ProFontWindows" 9

In my folder, I create .tm_properties with the following content.

TM_GIT = "/usr/local/bin/git"

TEST_DEFAULT_FONT="$fontName/$fontSize"

["*.txt"] fontName = "Menlo" fontSize = 16 TEST_TXT_FONT="$fontName/$fontSize"

In a txt file, I execute the following line with ^R

echo $TEST_TXT_FONT =Menlo/16

echo $TEST_DEFAULT_FONT =/

But the problem is the the buffer is not rendered with Menlo size 16.

Is my font setting via the menu overriding the font setting in the .tm_properties file? How do I reset it if that's the case?

Thanks
