I think combining the bitmap fonts with the same family name and style name is better. Here are the pull request for combining bitmap fonts. URL: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/terminus-fonts/pull-request/1 Please review the pull request, thanks! FYI, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BitmapFontConversion We plan to land this change in Fedora 32 before 2020-02-25. URL: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ProvideOpenTypeBitmapFonts
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 32 development cycle. Changing version to 32.
Is it okay to land this pull request this week?
Why the separate -opentype subpackage? That will mean that installing `terminus-fonts` will NOT show any fonts in any pango-using program.
Here are the quote from the Fedora 32 Change wiki page. The bitmap font in OpenType format will be contained in new sub package. User can choose to install the bitmap font either in legacy format or OpenType format from different sub packages. If install both legacy format and OpenType format fonts, sometimes it is not clear which format of the bitmap font is used. Plan to add some Conflicts line between legacy format and OpenType format font packages to avoid confusion.

Do you prefer to include Terminus.otb and Terminus-Bold.otb in terminus-fonts sub package?
Another patch for terminus-fonts without new sub package. URL: https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/pwu/rpms/terminus-fonts/commits/opentypebitmap The above patch will install both legacy format and opentype format in terminus-fonts package, this approach will cause "Terminus Italic" to be displayed as squares in gnome-terminal.
How about to put OpenType bitmap format into terminus-fonts sub package and put legacy bitmap format in terminus-fonts-x11 sub package?
To make things more clearer, we can't install both bitmap fonts and OTB fonts together, particularly for non-Pango apps, because they basically query a font to fontconfig with the family name and style only. they don't care about font format. which format is selected is undefined. someone may see in OTB, someone may see in Bitmap. well, if both fonts works as same, that's fine. but otherwise you'll see annoying bug reports against OTB maybe. Splitting them off in different sub-packages is work around for that issue and making a regression for things working well is unwilling thing for us. Hope that helps.
