gnome-terminal font selection dialog with hex glyphs instead of italic
For some reason deep within the font software stack, this appears to have fixed itself. I regularly have both terminus-fonts (modern ter-*.otb OpenType bitmap font files) terminus-fonts-legacy-x11 (legacy ter-*.pcf.gz PCF font files) installed on F33 and F34 and am not seeing this issue any more. Closing. Reopen if necessary. |
Description of problem: Starting in F31, font selection dialogs like the one in gnome-terminal show broken italic variants of the Terminus font. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): n/a How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install terminus-fonts 2. open gnome-terminal font selection dialog Actual results: Terminus Medium Terminus Bold <sequence of unicode hex code rectangle glyphs> Terminus Bold Italic Expected results: Terminus Medium Terminus Bold or (as the fonts software stack insists on inventing italic variants) Terminus Medium Terminus Bold Terminus Italic Terminus Bold Italic Additional info: This is a result of the Terminus font being installed in both the current OpenType bitmap font format (*.otb) and the legacy PCF format (*.pcf.gz), which confuses the fonts software stack when it is insisting on inventing italic versions of the Terminus font which only provides normal and bold versions without italic variants on purpose. Moving the legacy PCF fonts into a separate package only solves this issue until you need to install the legacy PCF fonts for such exotic ancient software packages like an up to date GNU emacs 26. Therefore this bug will have to remain open until all software still needing legacy fonts has been removed from Fedora and from other ways of circulation.
