Maybe there is no monospace font for Amharic ☹

This makes gnome-terminal look weird in am_ET.UTF-8 locale, see screenshot.

Sure. so what do you suggest? as you know we have own fontconfig config in each
font packages to give a hint for substitution. this result would simply means
there are no monospaced font packages which have Amharic coverage, or which
provide a fontconfig config at least. the kind of this issue should goes into
font packages.

BTW that wired rendering should be another issue. maybe relevant to new Pango
with Harfbuzz.
