This is getting too complicated to handle as an SRU considering that it's a not-so-important issue after all. So I think we should simply revert the problematic gnome-terminal commit in groovy only, and hope that upstream sorts it out for hirsute. So I would like to upload this fix to groovy:
https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/gnome-terminal But I can't do that until the version in hirsute is bumped somehow... ** Also affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: pango1.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: pango1.0 (Ubuntu Groovy) ** Changed in: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: Fix Committed => Won't Fix ** Changed in: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu Groovy) Assignee: Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu Groovy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1900729 Title: gnome-terminal font settings show only italic version of ubuntu mono Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in pango1.0 package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-terminal source package in Groovy: Triaged Status in gtk+3.0 source package in Groovy: Won't Fix Bug description: [Impact] When you want to select a monospace font in gnome-terminal's profile editor, it does not always show the regular font but rather an arbitrarily chosen one. The proposed gtk+3.0 upload cherry picks an upstream commit which fixes it. [Test case] * Install the binaries built from gtk+3.0 in groovy-proposed * Relogin * Open gnome-terminal -> Preferences and open the window for selecting a custom font for the profile. Find that it shows regular fonts only. [ Regression risk ] The upstream commit was written explicitly to fix this issue, so the regression risk should be low. Please note that the only affected file is gtk/gtkfontchooserwidget.c, so the scope is very limited which in itself ought to limit the regression risk. [Original description] trying to change the font in gnome-terminal, only the italics version of the ubuntu mono font is shown, as can be seen in the attachment. on the other hand, when changing fonts in the appearance settings, i can see all variants of the ubuntu fonts...
