Hello Anton,
Jouke's proposed solution for this bug, namely, adding symlinks in
/usr/share/fonts, worked for the previous fontconfig version, 2.2.3.
With the current version in sid, however, it no longer works, because
the discrimination against bitmapped fonts is not done by including or
not a directory, but by detecting the 'scalable' parameter on fonts
(see /etc/fonts/conf.d/no-bitmaps.conf).
The good news is that with fontconfig 2.3, you just need to install a
configuration file under /etc/fonts/conf.d. A sample file that will
work for xfonts-terminus is attached. Please keep the name, or make
sure it follows the pattern NM-foo.conf, since otherwise is ignored.
With this, you need not to put the symlinks under /usr/share/fonts any
more.
Cheers,
