Local gmt.conf file not being used?

[adigitoleo]

It seems like the gmt.conf file in the local directory is not being used. The commands below all plot a figure with the same title font for me:

julia> gmtset(FONT_TITLE = "2p,Helvetica,black")

julia> coast(region = (110, 210, -35, 45), proj = :Mercator, frame = :auto, land = :dimgray, title = "Test title font customization")

julia> showfig()

shell> grep 'FONT_TITLE' gmt.conf
FONT_TITLE                     = 2p,Helvetica,black

julia> coast(region = (110, 210, -35, 45), proj = :Mercator, frame = :auto, land = :dimgray, title = "Test title font customization")

julia> showfig()

julia> gmtset(FONT_TITLE = "50p,Helvetica,black")

julia> coast(region = (110, 210, -35, 45), proj = :Mercator, frame = :auto, land = :dimgray, title = "Test title font customization")

julia> showfig()

shell> grep 'FONT_TITLE' gmt.conf
FONT_TITLE                     = 50p,Helvetica,black

The gmtset commands are working, because the file is being created/modified. However, the settings are not being used. I tried changing the global gmt.conf and it seems to work, so I think it's just using that one always.

Yes, it was not. Made some changes and now it never is by design (to not interfere with next plot in day after) but gmtset() now immediately applies the setting directly to the API.
