use-custom-font=true
# dconf update
# su - nobody -c 'HOME=/tmp/xxx ibus-setup'
Here we see the above two settings are ignored.

OK maybe
# Instead create your own file next to it with a higher numbered prefix,
means
/etc/dconf/db/ibus.d/10-upstream-settings
result: nope.

Conclusion: all settings are hardwired in and dconf stuff is totally ignored.

The original title was confusing. "dconf update" updates the system
dconf db file which is not necessarily the default. The problem is on
ibus-setup reading the settings. See the forwarded upstream issue.

In https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2150 , the ibus upstream made it clear
that everything related to DConf is deprecated and should not be expected to
work. End users and ibus engines are expected to use GSettings instead. As a
result, marking this bug as wontfix.
