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. ** Affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1814342 Title: fc-match does not return the correct font Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 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.
