Ok, I think I have enough information to give a green light for this
change (especially that the Iain was +1 on getting it in as a single
fix).
** Description changed:
[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.
+ 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...
