Ok, I confirm that using ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with following
slightly corrected syntax (bitmaps off in port) gives me the expected results
(i.e. same as with 2.15)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "urn:fontconfig:fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- reject all bitmap fonts, with the exception of 'terminus' -->
<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
<patelt name="outline"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
</pattern>
</rejectfont>
<acceptfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="family"><string>Terminus</string></patelt>
</pattern>
</acceptfont>
</selectfont>
<...>
Thanks for helping me! It looks like fontconfig 2.17 ignoring ~/.fonts.conf was
the culprit all along [1]. Probably wouldn't connect the dots on my own.
