Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: fontconfig

When upgrading to jaunty from intrepid, the debconf configuration
relating to bitmapped fonts stopped working (i.e. I suddenly got Vera
Sans in my terminal, rather than jmk neep alt). I did a dpkg-reconfigure
fontconfig-config, which worked in intrepid, and the option was there
but disabled. Enabling it had no effect, and on running dpkg-reconfigure
a second time I saw that my selection wasn't being stored / remembered.
I ended up finding the right way (via removing no-bitmaps from
/etc/fonts/conf.d -- thanks to asac for pointing out that I needed to
close *all* gnome-terminal windows, and that I didn't need yes-bitmaps).
The option still being present via debconf threw me off, however.
