Package: xfonts-terminus
Version: 4.40-2
Severity: normal
I'm not sure this is related to #843982 so I'm filing it as a new report.
With the upgrade to fontconfig 2.12, using 'Terminus' as a font family stopped
working.
xlsfonts lists the various fonts and aliases, but fc-list shows 'xos4 Terminus'
as the full family name. Sure enough, using 'xos4 Terminus' in fc-enabled
programs works.
$ fc-list |grep Terminus
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ter-u24b_unicode.pcf.gz: xos4 Terminus:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ter-u22n_unicode.pcf.gz: xos4 Terminus:style=Regular
...
As such, I added an alias for 'Terminus' in my 50-enable-terminus.conf so that
I can still use 'Terminus' as the full family name.
Is this necessary, or maybe it's an issue with fontconfig?
