            Bug ID: 2098473
           Summary: Roboto Mono font not selectable in GNOME Terminal,
                    needs update
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 36
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: google-roboto-mono-fonts
          Severity: low
          Assignee: link(a)sub-pop.net

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora



Description of problem:

Fedora ships an old version of Google Roboto Mono fonts. There are not marked
as monospaced. As a result, Roboto Mono cannot be selected in GNOME Terminal.

In contrast, manually downloaded Roboto Mono fonts are selectable in GNOME
Terminal.

On top of that, it's recommended to use variable (weight) fonts. Fedora ships
fonts with fixed weight.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

google-roboto-mono-fonts-2.002-0.5.20200129git.fc36.noarch

How reproducible:

Always (make sure to close and open GNOME Terminal when fonts are
installed/uninstalled)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install google-roboto-mono-fonts
2. Reboot
3. Log in
4. Open GNOME Terminal
5. ≡ -> Preferences -> Unnamed -> Text -> Custom Font

Actual results:

Roboto Mono is not in the list

Expected results:

Roboto Mono is in the list

Additional info:

The latest files can be found in https://github.com/googlefonts/RobotoMono
Note that there are fonts/ttf and fonts/variable

Exactly the same files (variable fonts only) can be found in the Google fonts
snapshot at https://github.com/google/fonts/archive/main.zip
