[Bug 1900729] Re: gnome-terminal font settings show only italic version of ubuntu mono

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

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...

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...
