Yes, it's looking more likely to be a problem with the rendering software, but we're still unsure if this is in Pygame, SDL or something else. We also don't know what is different about this font to cause the bug.
You can test some code with the little script below. You need to 'apt- get install python-pygame' first. It's also interesting to look at the metrics stuff, which is even more confusing (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/docs/SDL_ttf.html#SEC38). You can also look at the input box in my project at https://launchpad.net/simplegc. import pygame import string pygame.font.init() m = pygame.font.SysFont("FreeMono", 16) #m = pygame.font.Font("/path/to/file.ttf", 16) #print zip(m.metrics(string.letters), string.letters) for c in string.letters: print "%s:%s, " % (c, m.render(c, False, (0,0,0)).get_size()[0]), -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001033 Title: Monospaced font is not monospaced To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-freefont/+bug/1001033/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
