Hi,

To save others' time, on upgrading to pango 1:1.44-1 today my terminal
emulator and other programs displayed empty boxes instead of bitmap-font
glyphs.  This is due to deliberate dropping of support by Pango.

I don't think xterm(1) uses Pango given ldd(1)'s output, and it's
happily displaying nice crisp glyphs.

Yeah, I just discovered this the hard way.  Very annoying.  Doesn't seem
like there's any fix/workaround either.

Hello,

You can convert your BDF/PCF fonts to the "X11 bitmap only sfnt (otb)"
OpenType format[1], which harfbuzz does support[2].
So these aren't "my" fonts. I'm using one of the bitmapped fonts that ships with X in xorg-fonts-misc as my terminal font. Does anyone know if there's any plans for these fonts to be usable with pango going forward?

Thanks,

DR
