** Summary changed: - All bitmap fonts no longer visible on upgrade 19.10 -> Focal (development) + All bitmap fonts no longer visible after upgrade 19.10 -> Focal (development)
** Description changed: For years I've installed a bitmap font for my terminals, but since I - upgraded to Focal (development branch) today, it no longer works. + upgraded to Focal (development branch) today, it (and other bitmap + fonts) no longer work. The font is 'Dina', from here: http://www.dcmembers.com/jibsen/download/61/?unapproved=504&moderation-hash=f1abb9d89caafa881dcfc05cd32372e7 I have always installed it using a script: - # install dina - sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/Dina - cd /usr/share/fonts/Dina - sudo unzip ~/Downloads/Dina.zip - - # enable bitmap fonts - sudo rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf - - # rebuild the cache - fc-cache -f -v - - # Set as default mono font - gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name "Dina 8" - + # install dina + sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/Dina + cd /usr/share/fonts/Dina + sudo unzip ~/Downloads/Dina.zip + + # enable bitmap fonts + sudo rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf + + # rebuild the cache + fc-cache -f -v + + # Set as default mono font + gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name "Dina 8" This has always worked in the past, through many versions of Ubuntu, including 19.10. I installed Focal today, using `sudo do-release-upgrade -d`. Now the above script does not make Dina visible in font selectors such as that produced by the Tweaks / Fonts / [Monospace Text] button. Terminals that were previously configured to use that font now display the "box of hex digits" characters (what are they called?) I cannot run 'gnome-font-viewer' to check things out, presumably due to some variant of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-font-viewer/+bug/1375819 (the window displays but immediately locks up.) While trying to find a fix, I tried a few changes to the above script, which did not help: * Unzip to "$HOME/.fonts" instead * Trying other symlinks in the fonts config.d: - ( - cd /etc/fonts/conf.d - sudo rm -f 70-no-bitmaps.conf - sudo ln -sf ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf - ) + ( + cd /etc/fonts/conf.d + sudo rm -f 70-no-bitmaps.conf + sudo ln -sf ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf + ) - (tried with both 'yes-bitmaps' and 'force-bitmaps') + (tried with both 'yes-bitmaps' and 'force-bitmaps') * fc-cache -r # "really" force cache re-creation -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1861340 Title: All bitmap fonts no longer visible after upgrade 19.10 -> Focal (development) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1861340/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
