            Bug ID: 504835
           Summary: Opentype bitmap (.otb) fonts, like Terminus, are
                    invisible in gtk applications when font hinting is set
                    to "None"
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: yumpusamongus+kde at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. (on Fedora) install terminus-fonts package
2. Configure a GTK app (gvim, mousepad, gedit, gnome-terminal, etc.) to use
Terminus font.
3. Open System Settings / Text & Fonts / Fonts, and set "Hinting" to "None" 
4. Restart the GTK app.

OBSERVED RESULT

Text is invisible.

EXPECTED RESULT

Text is visible (and rendered in Terminus).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Apologies for reporting as general/unspecified, but I don't know what
components are implicated here. Maybe systemsettings?

I have a *hunch* that maybe whatever passes fontconfig parameters should be
doing something like "hinting=true + hinstyle=hintnone" instead of
"hinting=false", or vice-versa.
