Created attachment 1033398 [details] fontconfig patterns This is probably not a bug. But I'm not sure so I'm reassigning this to fontconfig for their expertise (if this is a bug then a fontconfig one from my point of view). Basically you are doing this: pango-view --dpi=96 --font="Terminus 15" --text="[int13h@d500 ~]$ fc-ca" --background=black --foreground=gray For which fontconfig returns this font '/usr/share/fonts/terminus/ter-116n.pcf.gz' (size 16). I'm not sure why it doesn't return the '/usr/share/fonts/terminus/ter-120n.pcf.gz' because it is 72dpi equivalent of the font of size of 15 for 96dpi. I've printed FcPattern passed to fontconfig and the resulting FcPattern in pango's pango_fc_patterns_get_font_pattern() function. You can find them in the attached file. The file shows that fontconfig actually gives us the font of size 16 even if we pass to it request for a font of pixel size 20 (size 15).
