Re: mate-terminal: newly installed fonts listed but display as unprintable

Are any of the missing fonts in the output of:

fc-list :mono

Ah. For example 'Courier' appears in the mono list but does not show in the terminal profile font listing.

The available fonts is an adequate list. I'm okay with what I have. There are many Fixed, noto, source code.... listings but there are also many more indecipherable items.

Is the Courier match a Type1 font?  If so pango which mater-terminal uses no longer supports them.

How can I see the font type?

The Courier fonts are Adobe and show only when I issue the `fc-list`  as root. I don't see any indicator of type.

I don't understand this.

Re: mate-terminal: newly installed fonts listed but display as unprintable

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript_fonts#Type_1

file /usr/share/fonts/Type1/cour.pfa
/usr/share/fonts/Type1/cour.pfa: PostScript Type 1 font text (Courier 001.003)

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/pango/ is the text layout engine used by gtk3 and thus by mate-terminal.
