Found 👏 the 👏 problem! Removing the font from the JPanel causes a cascade of other components not getting the correct font objects when the component tree is updated. That is, the second time the font is installed, it is somehow different. In `BasicPanelUI#uninstallDefaults`, I've replaced `uninstallColorsAndFont` with `uninstallColors` for now. I've tested the two tests that Alexey said fail, and they both work again.
The components that don't receive the correct font are `JLabel`, `JButton`, `JMenuItem`, `JList`, `JComboBox`, `JToolTip`, and `JSpinner`. Figuring out what is causing *that* is not for almost-5AM-me. 🫠
