I had fixed that with the patch attached to comment #16 in bug #52167. It is strange that the problem is back although the patch has been accepted upstream.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246804 User mfabian@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246804#c12 --- Comment #12 from Mike Fabian 2008-05-26 03:57:02 MDT --- In Firefox and Konqueror4 it works for me. I can reproduce the problem in Qt3 applications and some GTK2 applications (epiphany) though. The problem is that FreeMono is really a broken font. The version we currently have has some characters which are too wide and some which are too narrow. Because of this, FreeMono would not be listed in fontselection dialogs asking for monospace fonts. The workaround in comment #8 fixes this and makes FreeMono selectable in such dialogs. A few glyphs which are too wide or too narrow usually don’t matter much, one will see overlaps for these broken glyphs but as they are rarely used it causes less problems than not beeing able to select the font as a monospace font at all (e.g. as a terminal font). You can add another workaround to your ~/.fonts.conf: <match target="font"> <test name="family"> <string>FreeMono</string> </test> <edit name="spacing" binding="strong"> <const>proportional</const> </edit> <edit name="globaladvance" binding="strong"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> The font will still be selectable as a monospace font because of the workaround from comment #8 but rendered like a proportional font. This fixes the spacing problem you report here. You will still see problems for the broken glyphs though, i.e. the only real fix is to fix the font. -- 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.
