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

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Gunnar, if you want to go with a revert it shouldn't need to block on
hirsute since we aren't going to go that way in the new serie but rather
cherrypick the new pango fix (we could do that now in Debian and sync
over, let know if you need help with an upload)

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...
