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@sub-pop.net Reporter: plroskin@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, link@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
