Interestingly, I cannot see any difference if I vary the used font and font size. Of course, I havent tried all combinations, but at least from some experients with 3 fonts (Monospace, DeJaVu Sans Mono, and FreeMono) and varying font sizes from 7 to 18, I cannot confirm that the bug is really gone with any of those combinations.
The bug is always there. The only thing that varies is its "visible effect". That is, the smaller the font size, the worse the effect. The overlapping of characters is worse with smaller font sizes and less visible with larger font sizes. However, the "moving" of the broken rendering outside of the selection is very visible with all font sizes I tried. ** Description changed: In (X)Ubuntu precise (12.04), the font rendering of changed text parts is broken. It seems as if the kerning is not evaluated correctly. - Steps to reproduce: - - compare to files with differences + Steps to reproduce: + - compare two files with differences - the changed parts will have partially unreadable characters, looking as if multiple characters are rendered atop of each other instead of next to each other Selecting the incorrectly rendered parts of the text magically fixes the rendering inside the selection, but just 'moves' the broken rendering outside of the selection. - - Here is a screenshot of both cases: - http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2yxqi4k&s=6 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999925 Title: KDiff3 font rendering of changed text broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdiff3/+bug/999925/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
