https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246573 ------- Comment #53 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-02-23 11:15 MST ------- I wonder whether it might be a better idea not to check for the widths of strings at all to find out whether a font is double with or not because this check seems to be so unreliable. Instead one could just say that every font which has Chinese or Korean characters is a double with font. Such a font is certainly either a dual width font or a proportional font (it might have proportional Latin characters and/or propoertial Kana (for example "MS PGothic")). In either case I think it might be OK to return true because the font has wide characters. If it happens to be a proportional font, it won't work right of course. But xterm doesn't check for that anyway: xterm -fa arial looks broken but xterm doesn't print any warning. So we probably don't need to check for proportional double width fonts either. If a user specifies xterm -fa "MS PGothic" -fd "MS PGothic" there will be problems just as in the arial case, but that can't be helped. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
