  • No bitmap font for Terminal in RHEL 7

    Posted on

    Environment: Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 5 11:16:57 EDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    In older RHEL versions there was bitmap font called Console available for use in Terminal. With RHEL 7 it is not available. I downloaded and installed package bitmap-fixed-fonts.noarch via yum but still can't see the font in Terminal Profile settings. What's wrong?

    $ rpm -ql bitmap-fixed-fonts.noarch
    /etc/fonts/conf.d/66-bitmap-fixed.conf
    /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/66-bitmap-fixed.conf
    /usr/share/fonts/bitmap
    /usr/share/fonts/bitmap/console9x15.pcf.gz
    

    Update:

    Thank you for the response. But I'm afraid it does not solve the issue. Probably the best way to illustrate it is to use screenshots. On first one there is a Terminal screenshot from RHEL 6.3, on second Terminal from RHEL 7. Please open images in separate windows since this forum distorts image sizes.
    And yes, I even rebooted after all the changes.
