Hi Łukasz,

As regards other concurrent fixes, I first asked Iain Lane if there is such a plan for groovy, but the most likely SRU in pipeline would be a focal update to 3.24.23, so he gave me a 'green light' for this groovy one.

The bug is an annoying one. Maybe the importance was set too low...

The story is summarized on this upstream issue:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/483

It was closed by Matthias C. since he first thought it was an issue with the Ubuntu font. When he realized that the incorrect gnome-terminal behavior was caused by an issue in gtk3's font chooser, he instantly submitted that commit. Please note that the only affected file is gtk/gtkfontchooserwidget.c, so the scope is very limited which in itself ought to limit the regression risk. Also, Matthias is an experienced GNOME developer, and usually knows what he is doing.

I have confirmed in advance that the change fixes the gnome-terminal issue.
