          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 59480
          Assignee: fontconfig-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: Bitmap fonts (in FON-Format) are rendered as
                    Helvetica-like fonts
        QA Contact: freedesktop at behdad.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: scit2010 at users.sourceforge.net
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: 2.9
         Component: conf
           Product: fontconfig

In GIMP 2.8.2 for Windows and Mac OS X we have the problem, that bitmap fonts
are shown as bold Helvetica-like fonts (on Windows it looks closest to
FixedSys, on Mac to Arial Hebrew). See also
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691782.
At least the Windows build uses FontConfig 2.9.0.
On several sites I read FontConfig disabled bitmap font support by default a
longer time ago. I tried to reenable it by applying the advices for Linux
analogously to Windows (e.g. copyied C:\Program Files\GIMP
2\etc\fonts\conf.avail\70-yes-bitmaps.conf to ..\conf.d, removed C:\Program
Files\GIMP 2\etc\fonts\conf.avail\70-no-bitmaps.conf, refreshed the font cache
in GIMP and extra restarted GIMP) - nothing helped.
