Since my last full upgrade on June 9 2020, I found that if I have
font-dejavu installed in my profile, my terminal (rxvt-unicode) no
longer finds the font selected in my ~/.Xresources file.
I'm using Guix on Debian, and all the packages involved are installed by
Guix. They are rxvt-unicode, font-anonymous-pro, and font-dejavu.
I strace-d the terminal startup.
In the good case, it reads and loads a bunch font-related things before
it finally loads my specified font from its symlink in
'~/.guix-profile/share/fonts'.
In the bad case, this work is cut short before it loads the DejaVu font
directly from the store.
I've attached excerpts of these traces as 'good.log' and 'bad.log'.
Here is a manifest to test the effect:
------
(specifications->manifest
'(glibc-utf8-locales"
"rxvt-unicode"
"font-anonymous-pro"
"font-gnu-unifont:pcf"
"font-gnu-unifont:psf"
"font-gnu-unifont:bin"
"font-gnu-unifont"
"font-dejavu" ; comment this package to toggle the bug on and off
))
------
And the ~/.Xresources file:
------
Urxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*font: xft:Anonymous Pro:pixelsize=13:antialiasing=true \
xft:unifont:style=Medium:antialias=false:size=16
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
