Package: alacritty
Version: 0.11.0-4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream fixed-upstream
If the user has configured Source Code Pro as the terminal font, then
text is rendered very tiny and squashed at the top of the window.
To reproduce:
1. Install texlive-fonts-extra.
2. mkdir -p ~/.fonts
3. ln -s /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/adobe ~/.fonts
4. Run fc-cache.
5. Modify the configuration file to contain this block:
----
font:
normal:
family: Source Code Pro
style: Regular
----
6. Restart Alacritty if `live_config_reload` isn't specified.
7. Notice that the text is tiny and squashed at the top of the terminal
and you can't read anything at all.
I believe this is fixed in 0.12.0 and was tracked upstream at
https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/6048. This will probably
be fixed simply by updating Alacritty to the latest version, so it would
be great if that could happen.

That discussion also suggests updating the version of Source Code Pro

will fix the issue. Updating alacritty is going to require
packaging/updating more crates, so updating the font may be a quicker
solution for this particular problem.
