Summary: Debian 11 - only the smallest available point size is
offered in font selection for Opentype bitmap fonts.
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In Debian 11 (scheduled for release 2021-07-31), only the smallest available
point size is offered in font selection for Opentype bitmap fonts.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
When selecting a bitmap font via Konsole -> Settings -> Configure
Konsole -> Profiles -> Edit -> Appearance -> Font -> Choose, only the
smallest font size is displayed for OpenType bitmap fonts.
e.g. Install the fonts-terminus-otb package, and run the command:
fc-query /usr/share/fonts/opentype/terminus/terminus-normal.otb
The following is amongst the report:
pixelsize: 12(f)(s) 14(f)(s) 16(f)(s) 18(f)(s) 20(f)(s) 22(f)(s) 24(f)(s)
28(f)(s) 32(f)(s)
Terminus is selectable in the list of fonts via the Konsole profile
editor, but only the smallest pixelsize (12) is listed as a selectable
option.
OBSERVED RESULT
Only smallest available font size is offered
EXPTECTED RESULT
All included fonts sizes are available
Workaround:
Open the font file with fontforge, import only the desired size (e.g.
32), rename the font in Menu -> Element -> Font Info (e.g. "Terminus" to
"Terminus32", then export as an OpenType bitmap font (File -> Generate
Fonts -> "X11 bitmap only sftnt (otb)" -> Generate. Import the saved
font via KDE -> System Settings -> Font Management -> Install from File.
