Hello,

I'm also having this problem since upgrading to 2.7.1 -- "Terminus" magically became "xos4 Terminus" to fontconfig, even though the underlying files providing that font haven't changed.

As a workaround I have added the following to my ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf:

   <!-- Workaround for
        https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2017-01/msg00019.html
   -->
   <alias>
     <family>Terminus</family>
     <prefer><family>xos4 Terminus</family></prefer>
   </alias>

I'd expect that this breaks a lot of people's configurations, and I'm not sure really what the gain is here. Can we at least wait until a new major release (ie. 3.0.0) for such breaking changes? :-)

Thanks,

Chris
