gnu: font-terminus: Also install fontconfig configuration file.
Without this fontconfig file, font-terminus cannot be used because
starting with fontconfig 2.17, upstream disables bitmap fonts by default
(see #10910). Unfortunately, enabling this fontconfig file requires
tweaking the `home-fontconfig-service-type`, thus the package does not
work out-of-the-box. However, providing the 75-yes-terminus.conf file
together with the package makes it easier to configure the service.
Also note that, for other font packages, we already provide such files
via conf.avail. For example, font-dejavu or font-comic-neue.
An exemplary Guix home configuration may look as follows:
(modify-services (essential-services home-environment)
(home-fontconfig-service-type
config =>
(append
config
(let ((fc-dir "~/.guix-home/profile/share/fontconfig"))
(list `(include ,(string-append
fc-dir
"/conf.avail/75-yes-terminus.conf")))))))
* gnu/packages/fonts.scm (font-terminus)
[arguments] <#:phases>: Add 'install-fontconfig phase.
