Bug Description
When a character is not present in Ubuntu Mono, Ubuntu chooses a proportional font to render it.
This is usually not desirable. In a terminal, for example, the proportional character is often overlapped by the following character.
For example:
- bug 819708
- bug 1116428
- bug 1094434
- bug 736613
- bug 958142
This might be because:
- Ubuntu Mono is not actually a monospace font (bug 703998), so Pango has no idea that it should try to use another monospace font for fallback
- the Ubuntu fonts are not mentioned in any <family>
