I checked the arial black ttf file and it is identical (binary) to what I found under win2k. If font metrics are broken then shouldn't this also influence rendering on the screen? But everything looks fine on the screen, no matter what font size and magnification I set.
I sent you the files as you asked. I can't suggest much else, because I don't understand it properly myself.
I checked the installation sources. Most of what I have is standard stuff. The only font related things I had from somewhere else were imlib2 and imlib2-loaders from the Packman repository. I downgraded them to the standard opensuse version but that didn't help. I'm going to install opensuse into a virtual machine with all standard settings to investigate further but it will take time...
That sounds a sensible idea. I'm surprised nobody else is having your problem.
I don't understand what you mean by "registry". Encoding should not matter because all I'm using are ASCII characters. My locale is set to British English.
See here for example <http://web.mit.edu/answers/xwindows/xwindows_font_fields.html> Your email address led me to think you might be using other encodings. If you're sure you're not then that's one less possible source of problems.
