Hi Folks, I've seen several posts and bug reports open about the subject of font selection in the editor, but no one has addressed why many of the Truetype Monospaced fonts are not selectable. I want to select fonts that have clear, readily identifiable differences between 0 (zero) and O (capital "oh") or 1 (one) and l (small "el") and I (capital "eye"). For example, I can select Cousine, Inconsolata, DejaVu Sans Mono, Liberation Mono and Noto Mono: but I can't select Noto Sans Mono, Mechanical or Share Tech Mono despite the fact that they are all coded and readily identified as monospaced fonts by the system. All are installed under '/usr/share/fonts/', have permissions of 644 and "sudo fc-cache -srv" has no effect.
Ironically I can also select Noto Color Emoji and Noto Emoji, if I was so inclined, which really messes up the spacing and alignment despite pretending to be monospaced (maybe Google should change them to "expanded" instead, I can only assume there is a technical reason for specifying them as "monospaced" such as scaling or kerning). So what's the deal? Why does only a subset of truetype, monospaced fonts appear in the selection box?
