Bug#1088113: gnome-terminal: Can't select condensed font

[Ben Harris]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.46.8-1
Severity: normal

    * What led up to the situation?

I have installed the "Bedstead" family of fonts from 
https://bjh21.me.uk/bedstead/ in the ".fonts" directory under my home 
directory.  I'd like to use "Bedstead Condensed" in my terminals.

    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
      ineffective)?

I followed the instructions in "Change font and style" in the help.  I 
clicked on the "hamburger" button in the GNOME Terminal title bar and 
chose "Preferences".  I turned on "Custom font" and click the button next 
to it.  The list includes "Bedstead", but not any of the different widths 
of Bedstead.  If I choose "Bedstead", there is no option to choose a 
different width.

    * What was the outcome of this action?

I couldn't find any way to select Bedstead Condensed in the "Preferences" 
dialogue box.  If I just select "Bedstead", I get the normal-width 
version.

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected that either "Bedstead Condensed" would be in the list of fonts 
to choose from, or there would be an option to choose a width after 
selecting "Bedstead".


I would have reported this using a font family that's in Debian, but it 
turns out that all the condensed monospaced fonts in Debian are broken in 
other ways.
