Comment 7 for bug 1900729

this is just going in circles. i don't understand the details but it seems that:
* it's quite ok to have a monospace filter built into the gnome-terminal font selector
* this job is really delegated to the pango lib, which uses the first fc result to determine the spacing for the *whole* family
* for the ubuntu font the first fc result isn't the regular type, which has the spacing property, but some other variant which doesn't have it

last point hints at the urgency that this is fixed in the fonts themselves.

it's a great pity one cannot enjoy the ubuntu font in the gnome-terminal in the latest ubuntu distros.
