Hi guys.

My Gnome's default terminal does only select from _mono_ type of fonts & I remember it could choose any font.
Alternative solutions, such a _terminator_ do allow to select any font.

In Gnome's terminal 'font scaling' also seems "broken" - certainly on my Fedora - I select "Liberation Mono" and I start size at 6 and keep increasing by small fraction and the font does not seem changing until suddenly, at some given size it "jumps" the size & ... shape too.

I do not suppose it's my environment - I've been upgrading my Fedora since... forever, as opposed to "clean" install - and I think it's rather "broken" terminal, but..
I wanted to consult other Fedorians to be sure.

Using a fresh install of F39, in Gnome Terminal "Preferences" I selected the "Unnamed" Profile, set "Custom font" to Liberation Mono, and click on the  "Custom Font" bar to get a "Choose A Terminal Font" window. The size changes in the window and the terminal also changes to match when I close the "Chose ..." window.  I have TrueType Liberation fonts:

% fc-list | grep LiberationMono
/usr/share/fonts/liberation-mono/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf: Liberation Mono:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/liberation-mono/LiberationMono-Bold.ttf: Liberation Mono:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/liberation-mono/LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf: Liberation Mono:style=Bold Italic
/usr/share/fonts/liberation-mono/LiberationMono-Italic.ttf: Liberation Mono:style=Italic
