Hi Łukasz,

As regards other concurrent fixes, I first asked Iain Lane if there is
such a plan for groovy, but the most likely SRU in pipeline would be a
focal update to 3.24.23, so he gave me a 'green light' for this groovy
one.

The bug is an annoying one. Maybe the importance was set too low...

The story is summarized on this upstream issue:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/483

It was closed by Matthias C. since he first thought it was an issue with
the Ubuntu font. When he realized that the incorrect gnome-terminal
behavior was caused by an issue in gtk3's font chooser, he instantly
submitted that commit. Please note that the only affected file is
gtk/gtkfontchooserwidget.c, so the scope is very limited which in itself
ought to limit the regression risk. Also, Matthias is an experienced
GNOME developer, and usually knows what he is doing.

I have confirmed in advance that the change fixes the gnome-terminal
issue.

Title:
  gnome-terminal font settings show only italic version of ubuntu mono

Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in gtk+3.0 source package in Groovy:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When you want to select a monospace font in gnome-terminal's profile
  editor, it does not always show the regular font but rather an
  arbitrarily chosen one. The proposed gtk+3.0 upload cherry picks an
  upstream commit which fixes it.

  [Test case]

  * Install the binaries built from gtk+3.0 in groovy-proposed

  * Relogin

  * Open gnome-terminal -> Preferences and open the window for selecting
  a custom font for the profile. Find that it shows regular fonts only.

  [ Regression risk ]

  The upstream commit was written explicitly to fix this issue, so the
  regression risk should be low.

  [Original description]

  trying to change the font in gnome-terminal, only the italics version
  of the ubuntu mono font is shown, as can be seen in the attachment. on
  the other hand, when changing fonts in the appearance settings, i can
  see all variants of the ubuntu fonts...
