Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 18.10 the command `fc-match monospace:bold` returns
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
instead of
DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Bold"
This works correctly on Ubuntu 18.04.1 which is using fontconfig 2.12.6,
whereas 18.10 uses 2.13.0.
I compiled 2.13.1 from source and just installed libfontconfig.so.1.12.0.
This solves the problem.
While it does not sound much, this bug also causes Java 8 AWT/Swing font
rendering to be uglier than it has to be. Instead of "DejaVu Sans Mono
Bold" and emboldened version of "DejaVu Sans Mono" is used which has a
different size, which goes counter to the notion of a "monospace" font.
