this is just going in circles. i don't understand the details but it seems that: * it's quite ok to have a monospace filter built into the gnome-terminal font selector * this job is really delegated to the pango lib, which uses the first fc result to determine the spacing for the *whole* family * for the ubuntu font the first fc result isn't the regular type, which has the spacing property, but some other variant which doesn't have it
last point hints at the urgency that this is fixed in the fonts themselves. it's a great pity one cannot enjoy the ubuntu font in the gnome-terminal in the latest ubuntu distros. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900729 Title: gnome-terminal font settings show only italic version of ubuntu mono Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: trying to change the font in gnome-terminal, only the italics version of the ubuntu mono font is shown, as can be seen in the attachment. on the other hand, when changing fonts in the appearance settings, i can see all variants of the ubuntu fonts...
