Subject: Emacs 28: Specific TTF font gets loaded with font-backend x instead of ftcrhb
Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2020 12:12:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pneu1u9e.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)

Hi all,

I use the current Emacs from the master branch.  It is configured with
cairo and HarfBuzz support.

  (frame-parameter nil 'font-backend) ;=> (ftcrhb x)

I don't configure fonts inside emacs but it takes my default monospaced
font from GNOME settings.  Right now, that is set to PragmataPro, so
describe-char says something like

    display: by this font (glyph code)
    ftcrhb:-FSD -PragmataPro-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x46)

So far, so good.  When I now switch my GNOME monospace font setting to
the JetBrains Mono font [1] and fire up a new frame, it seems like a
bitmap variant of that font is used.  describe-char says:

    display: by this font (glyph code)
    x:-misc-jetbrains mono-medium-r-normal--15-108-100-100-m-90-iso8859-1 (#x6F)

So indeed, here the font-backend is x rather than ftcrhb.  But both
PragmataPro and JetBrainsMono are normal TTF fonts.  fc-list knows them
both:

I've tried other fonts as well (like DejaVu Mono) and they all work just
fine in Emacs.  It's just that single one which doesn't work in emacs
but it does work in other apps (like all GNOME apps).

Any idea how to debug what's the problem with that font?

Thanks,
  Tassilo
