Public bug reported: (This is a Dapper installation.)
The X 'fixed' font is a very popular font for use in terminal windows. I found it totally bizarre that it didn't seem to be possible to use it in gnome-terminal. To reproduce: Go to Edit->Profiles... in the menu. In the resulting dialog box, select 'Default', and press the Edit button. Select the 'General' tab, and untick 'Use the system terminal font' if it's ticked. Click on the font name to bring up the font selection dialog box. Expected result: "fixed" appears somewhere in the list of available fonts. Actual result: it isn't there. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- 'fixed' font doesn't seem to appear in gnome-terminal's font list https://launchpad.net/bugs/52476 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
