Description Alex Efros 2015-04-28 16:29:48 UTC

# qlist -Iv terminus-font
media-fonts/terminus-font-4.39-r1
# qfile /usr/share/consoletrans/cp437.acm.gz
media-fonts/terminus-font (/usr/share/consoletrans/cp437.acm.gz)
# zgrep 0xEE /usr/share/consoletrans/cp437.acm.gz 
0xEE	U+220A

Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437: "238 (EEhex) is both the Greek lowercase epsilon (U+03B5, ε) and the element-of sign (U+2208, ∈). Later it was often used for the euro sign (U+20AC, €).".

So, this line should be:
0xEE	U+2208

You would be better off contacting the author of this font.

https://sourceforge.net/p/terminus-font/bugs/ says "To create a new ticket you must be authorized by project admin". At a glance neither project website nor project summary page mention other ways to report issues (maillists, etc.). Maybe this project's main site somewhere else (several years ago I remember it wasn't on sourceforge, but I may be wrong about it) but this url is set as "homepage" in ebuild. Honestly, how much time I should spend trying to find where to report this issue to author?

Whats about the current stable version 4.40 or testing 4.46?

Sorry, it was 3 years ago. I've no idea how I noticed this that time and how to test it now - except using commands from first comment. So, feel free to close this if you believe it's fixed now.
