Wrong terminus font-size

[Miguel Angel Noguera]

1) Kubuntu Impish Indri (development branch) / Release: 21.10 / konsole 21.07.90
2) xfonts-terminus 4.48-3

3) font size must be selectable between from 9 to 24 px

4) only 9 px is available, wich is too small in most cases.

Same bug in debian 11.0 / ubuntu 21.04

PCLinuxOS (version 4.48) and openSUSE tumbleweed (version 4.49.1) performs the right way

Downgrading to 4.40-2 (focal package) also fixes the problem.

Switching from xorg to wayland doesnt affect.

This seems to be cause by the line:

<patelt name="fontformat"><string>TrueType</string></patelt>

In the /etc/fonts/conf.d/71-enable-terminus.conf. Removing it should fix your problem.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Removing /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf fix the problem in every version.

IMHO, to fix it dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig should ask "Do you want to disable bitmap fonts?"
