--- Comment #10 from Akira TAGOH <tagoh(a)redhat.com> ---
(In reply to Hans Ulrich Niedermann from comment #8)
I have removed the terminus-fonts package, and automagically the
gnome-terminal terminal and the gnome-terminal font selection dialog have
changed to stop including terminus. After re-installing the terminus-fonts
package, both have automagically started showing terminus fonts again. This
behaviour is the same both with the older terminus-fonts-4.48-3.fc32.noarch
package (with updates-testing disabled) and (with updates-testing enabled)
the newer terminus-fonts-4.48-5.fc32.noarch package.
Right. that should works on WS. and is the off topic for this issue and misled
by comment#1. please ignore it.
However, nobody needs to select those broken italic version from the
font
selection box, as the fonts actually provided by terminus-fonts are in
perfect working order. The user experience is certainly better if you
install "terminus-fonts" if you want to use the Terminus font inside, say,
your gnome-terminal and emacs, and just ignore the obviously broken italic
font variant. The alternative is a separate package with legacy fonts for
Emacs, and the user having to find out about actually needing the legacy
variant package, then installing that legacy variant package in addition to
the standard one to have Terminus for both gnome-terminal and Emacs, and
then they see the broken italic font variants in the gnome-terminal font
selection dialog again.
Right.. In that sense, applications which are going to deal with un-supported
format should ignore them in their code to query fonts, in general at least.

No, I don't think so.
