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

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

gtk and pango are both blocked by glib before they can migrate. In
addition to that there are a few other autopkgtest regressions blocking
pango.

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 gnome-terminal upload reverts an
  upstream commit, which means that all weights/styles for monospace
  fonts are shown. It takes us back to how it works in focal.

  [Test case]

  * Install the binaries built from gnome-terminal in groovy-proposed

  * Relogin

  * Open gnome-terminal -> Preferences and open the window for selecting
  a custom font for the profile. Find that it shows all available
  monospace fonts. Confirm for a few fonts that they can actually be
  selected without issues.

  [Where problems could occur]

  This is a one liner in gnome-terminal and does not affect other
  applications. So given a successful verification of the test case,
  this ought to be a safe change.

  [Other info]

  Please note that this particular change has not been made in hirsute.
  The reason is that we intend to follow upstream there, which means
  that the issue will be resolved through changes in gtk and pango.

  of the ubuntu mono font is shown, as can be seen in the attachment. on
