Detect terminal font
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I am running Debian live XFCE, and I cannot seem to determine the font used by
the Terminal.
I went to Edit, Preferences, Appearance and it just says "Monospace Regular".
Then I did cat /etc/default/console-setup and it just says FONTFACE="Fixed".
Can I somehow get the actual, proper font name, or alternatively the path to the
font file being used?

What terminal are you using? Why would/etc/default/console-setupbe relevant? Isn't that about the console (as opposed to the GUI terminal emulators) font?
