On my Ubuntu / Unity desktop neither Terminator, the default gnome- terminal, or tilix display anything related to monospaced fonts with the GDK_DEBUG=settings prefix. (There is a proportional system font returned, but that's not what we're interested in here.)
In the gnome-terminal source (which is effectively the bible so far as Terminator is concerned for how to do things)... https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-terminal/blob/master/src/terminal-app.h#L33 and https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-terminal/blob/master/src/terminal-app.c#L1135 Same in tilix... https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/blob/master/source/gx/tilix/preferences.d#L26 and https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/blob/master/source/gx/tilix/terminal/terminal.d#L2330 Those are only querying gsettings exactly the same as we are. If there was an easy way to query xsettings then I suppose it could be added as a fallback but, so far as I can tell, there is no commonly used/accepted python module for querying xsettings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769774 Title: Xfce doesn't set GNOME/Gtk3 dconf keys for theme and font To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/terminator/+bug/1769774/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
