--- Comment #14 from Hans Ulrich Niedermann <rhbugs(a)n-dimensional.de> ---
Let me try to summarize this bug's discussions with my limited understanding of
the font software stack:
1. The original poster mainly had an issue with fontconfig/ostree which
resulted in his gnome-terminal dialog showing only small rectangular glyphs
instead of "Terminus Medium", "Terminus Bold", and the
invented-by-the-software-stack "Terminus Bold Italic". This appears to have
been solved over in fontconfig/ostree land, so the main part of this bug looks
like a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1750891 to me,
and definitively outside the scope of what the terminus-fonts package is
responsible for.
2. The original poster also had a completely different issue with what Akira
TAGOH calls Pango/freetype in which the presence of *.pcf.gz files breaks the
"Terminus Italic" invented by what appears to be pango/freetype. As this issue
has been reappearing and is going to reappear until the last piece of software
using pre-pango font rendering has disappeared from at least Fedora, if not the
planet, I have created https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1827905 to
track that part. So the secondary part of this bug looks like a duplicate of
1827905 to me.
Akira TAGOH, sorry to bother you again here, but you appear to be the one with
the knowledge to actually help with this. I would not even know where to start
reading documentation.
You have mentioned above "Disable embolden flag for certain apps". Where would
this flag be located? And in this case, terminus-fonts already provides
"Terminus Medium" and "Terminus Bold", so I cannot se where "embolden" should
play a part here, but might there be a "italicize" flag somewhere? Maybe an
"italicizes flag for certain fonts"? That could prevent the secondary issue
number 2.
Also, is there a third issue discussed in this bug which I have completely
overlooked?
