[SID - Unstable] Letter spacing in uxterm too wide since last apt upgrade

#1 Post by jimmyD »

Hey everybody,

I'm a happy Debian unstable + i3wm user since several years. Today I ran an apt upgrade and noticed that while the terminals that were open before I upgraded still had the expected character spacing, any new one had a bigger spacing. I have not touched my config and would like to have the old spacing back. But I don't know how :(

From the apt log I noticed some font related package changes:

Code: Select all

fonts-opensymbol (2:102.12+LibO7.4.2-4) wird eingerichtet ...
Trigger für fontconfig (2.13.1-4.5) werden verarbeitet ...
To open a new terminal my keyboard short cut runs:

Code: Select all

uxterm -sl 10000 -fa "Droid Sans Mono Dotted for Powerline" -fs 8

The font is there:

Code: Select all

fc-list | ag "Droid Sans Mono Dotted for Powerline"
/home/foo/.local/share/fonts/Droid Sans Mono Dotted for Powerline.ttf: Droid Sans Mono Dotted for Powerline:style=Regular
System info:

Code: Select all

uname -a && lsb_release -a
