2020-01-31 19:07:21 Jonathan Hartley description For years I've installed a bitmap font for my terminals, but since I upgraded to Focal (development branch) today, it no longer works. The font is 'Dina', from here: http://www.dcmembers.com/jibsen/download/61/?unapproved=504&moderation-hash=f1abb9d89caafa881dcfc05cd32372e7 I have always installed it using a script: # install dina sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/Dina cd /usr/share/fonts/Dina sudo unzip ~/Downloads/Dina.zip # enable bitmap fonts sudo rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf # rebuild the cache fc-cache -f -v # Set as default mono font gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name "Dina 8" This has always worked in the past, through many versions of Ubuntu, including 19.10. I installed Focal today, using `sudo do-release-upgrade -d`. Now the above script does not make Dina visible in font selectors such as that produced by the Tweaks / Fonts / [Monospace Text] button. Terminals that were previously configured to use that font now display the "box of hex digits" characters (what are they called?) I cannot run 'gnome-font-viewer' to check things out, presumably due to some variant of: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-font-viewer/+bug/1375819 (the window displays but immediately locks up.) While trying to find a fix, I tried a few changes to the above script, which did not help: * Unzip to "$HOME/.fonts" instead * Trying other symlinks in the fonts config.d: ( cd /etc/fonts/conf.d sudo rm -f 70-no-bitmaps.conf sudo ln -sf ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf ) (tried with both 'yes-bitmaps' and 'force-bitmaps') * fc-cache -r # "really" force cache re-creation For years I've installed a bitmap font for my terminals, but since I upgraded to Focal (development branch) today, it (and other bitmap fonts) no longer work.
