Jeremy, I know that the behaviour is intentional but it is still dumb. As I wrote, there is no good reason to disable bitmap fonts.
-- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1560114 Title: Bitmap fonts are disabled by default Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: By default, fontconfig-config installs a file called "/etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf". It disables bitmap fonts. What good for, I don't know. Though if you later install a bitmap font "apt-get install xfonts-terminus" then that font wont show up in menus. That is not what you expect. The workaround is: sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-yes-bitmaps.conf But you shouldn't need that and bitmap founds shouldn't be disabled. The bug is present in Ubuntu wily, 15.10.
