Работает! Без etc/fonts/local.conf и без embeddedbitmap, но помимо hinting, нужно еще hintstyle задать. Наконец-то разобрались! Спасибо

O fc-cache знаю и выполняю после каждой манипуляции со шрифтом/настройками.
Без /etc/fonts/local.conf не работает, проверил.
Может вы у себя попробуйте без /etc/fonts/local.conf ?
Ох ёмаё! И это все учитывается в fontconfig?

Если я правильно понимаю, то это влияет на какие-то персидские шрифты (зачем они мне вообще? :))
Где-то еще может быть запрет?
Урааа! С вашим /etc/fonts/local.conf заработало!

Текст из превьюшки можно выделить и скопировать :)
Другие otb шрифты тоже не работают.. Система обновлена
В qt все норм:
/etc/fonts/local.conf отсутствует, embeddedbitmap в ~/.config/fontconfig тоже нету, я сделал:
<edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">
          <bool>true</bool></edit>
Не помогло.
Я пытаюсь заставить работать terminus-font-otd, a terminus-font удален из системы.
Гтк видет шрифт, но отображает его "пробелами". Если бы не видел, то использовал дефолтный.
vs220
zsx
[ gtk-font-name=Terminus 10 ] Не?
Не рендерится вообще пустое место



Попробовал пару других otd тоже самое, otf нормально

Все отбой - разобрался в фонт конфиге отключены были, уже и забыл что писал туда
У меня вроде не отключены, но не работают (в гтк, а в qt работает).
