No idea...  You set the font via the object inspector?

If you put a label in with the same font. does that work?
Have you tried other fonts?
Are they in that name-15-*-* format ?

Try compiling with SYNFONTDEBUG defined

also add a debugln to SynEdit.FontChanged
and SynEdit.RecalcCharExtend

and output the fontname there please

Not sure about that. Afaik newer Lazarus does no longer need lfr. But 
better ask in a none SynEdit thread
