Hi, I noticed that the filename of the Terminus ttf file contains a version number: TerminusTTF-4.46.0.ttf This makes it difficult for other packages to depend on the font and symlink to it (as the version can easily change). Can you please use a stable filename without version number? Or is the version supposed to be fixed and will never change? Kind regards, Reiner
Hi Reiner, Thank you for the report, I agree, and will try to get this fixed (atm only for experimental, later for sid etc). Either I just patch it the latest version of the upstream project, or split it completely away from cool-retro-term. I'm not sure yet. Yes. http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net It looks like creating a new src/bin package called fonts-terminus/fonts-terminus would be the much better approach: https://sid.ethz.ch/debian/fonts-terminus/ after ./configure; make; make otb I end up with built fonts called: ter-u12b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 12Terminus Bold ter-u12n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 12Terminu ter-u14b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 14Terminus Bold ter-u14n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 14Terminu ter-u16b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 16Terminus Bold ter-u16n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 16Terminu ter-u18b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 18Terminus Bold ter-u18n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 18Terminu ter-u20b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 20Terminus Bold ter-u20n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 20Terminu ter-u22b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 22Terminus Bold ter-u22n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 22Terminu ter-u24b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 24Terminus Bold ter-u24n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 24Terminu ter-u28b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 28Terminus Bold ter-u28n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 28Terminu ter-u32b.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusBoldTerminus Bold bitmap height 32Terminus Bold ter-u32n.otb: TrueType Font data, 12 tables, 1st "EBDT", 12 names, Unicode, Copyright (C) 2020 Dimitar Toshkov ZhekovTerminusRegularTerminus Regular bitmap height 32Terminu Now it'll be fun how/with what name to ship, and which ones... help welcome, also am on #debian-fonts on irc.

not change ever. cool-retro-term is very lazy about releases, some other fonts got updated recently, however not so terminus, and for terminus exist newer versions over sourceforge.net, however unless someone creates pull requests i don't see it updated. meanwhile i've updated cool-retro-term packages, see https://mentors.debian.net/package/cool-retro-term/
