Package: libpango1.0-0
Version: 1.24.0-3+b1
Severity: normal
After a recent restart of gnome-terminal the wrong font was being used.
The new font is some bold font. The gnome-terminal UI shows the correct
font name and the font looks correct in the preview area but attempts
to make configuration changes had no effect on open real terminals.
I use a small fixed-width font[1] in gnome-terminal and had made no
preference changes to the terminal or font config changes for months.
I found another machine were the my font preference was working correctly.
I created a new user, confirmed the font was working. Did a full update
to testing and confirmed the problem appeared in the new user account.
Then using snapshot.debian.org I backed out/reapplied packages one at
a time until I found that just libpango1.0 introduced this failure.
this package works: libpango1.0-0=1.22.4-2
this package fails: libpango1.0-0=1.24.0-3+b1
1: The font I use is "Neep Alt" size 10 from xfonts-jmk package
Test case:
It's best if you use a different user account to test this, to isolate
this test from your real user preferences.
- apt-get install libpango1.0-0=1.22.4-2
- apt-get install xfonts-jmk
- enable bitmap fonts [2]
- run a new
gnome-terminal --disable-factory
- select Neep Alt size 10 from profile preferences
- run ls / man ... observe font ... take a screen shot ;)
- close down all gnome-terminals
- apt-get install libpango1.0-0=1.24.0-3+b1
- run another new
gnome-terminal --disable-factory
expected results : fonts are unchanged
actual results : second window uses bold fonts for all text
2: to enable bitmap fonts...
there are at least two options to enable bitmap fonts.
- per user:
cat ~/.fonts.conf
===
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Accept bitmap fonts -->
<selectfont>
<acceptfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
</pattern>
</acceptfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>
===
- system wide:
===
rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf
ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
===
