I can still reproduce the bug with gedit and fonts-droid 20111207+git-1. On 2012-11-25 13:34:28 +0530, Vasudev Kamath wrote: > I tried to reproduce the bug you mentioned in fonts-droid.

So, you can reproduce the bug (but it remains to determinate whether it is a bug in the font or in the rendering engine). > this I assume is natural because Mono fonts assume all glyphs > are uni width but á is not uni width glyph hence can't be placed in a > single cell. This is my assumption I may be wrong but please enlighten > me if so. This is wrong. For instance, there's no such problem with DejaVuSansMono.ttf. So, there's something incorrect in some Mono fonts (but not all). Unfortunately, I am not an expert and I don't know what. > Now the same font renders fine in konsole see the second screen shot > which means font is proper but if the issue exists its indeed in engine > which is rendering it in gedit. IIRC gnome uses pango and KDE qt > rendering engines so is that why its rendering so? It can be a possibility. But qt might also have some workaround (or don't look at all font properties, which could mean that you may see the effect of two bugs that compensate, but I don't know...). The fact that two different Mono fonts show different behaviors with some renderer makes me think that it is more probably a problem in some fonts. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
