Yes, this is intentional.
See /usr/share/doc/fontconfig/README.Debian for instructions on how to enable
bitmap fonts. I copied the instructions below.
---------
If you wish to enable bitmapped fonts manually, remove the
/etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf symbolic link and add a symlink named
70-yes-bitmaps.conf pointing to ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf:
cd /etc/fonts/conf.d && \
rm -f 70-no-bitmaps.conf && \
ln -s ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf
** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
