[opensuse] xemacs menu size with UTF-8
Hi, can someone verify this: On SuSE 10.1 the size of the menubar, drop-down menues and checkboxes in the menues of xemacs depend on the value of the LANG (respectively LC_CTYPE) variable. Setting LC_CTYPE or LANG to de_DE instead of the default de_DE.UTF-8 will shrink the menu bar a bit. The difference is not so viewable. However, setting LC_CTYPE/LANG to en_US.UTF-8 almost doubles the size of the menu bar and the drop down menues, making them unusable. With en_US everything is fine. Here are some screenshots: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/xemacs_de_DE.gif http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/xemacs_de_DE.UTF-8.gif http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/xemacs_en_US.UTF-8.gif This seems to be independent from X server or windows manager configs. Does someone else see this effect? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

In my case, "LANG=en_US xemacs" results in a slightly smaller height of the menu bar compared to "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 xemacs". I don't see the double height menu. On the other hand, I saw it in SUSE 10.0. Perhaps it depends on installed fonts. xlsfonts gives me 11413 fonts; too much to be listed here. -- A.M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ok, just nice to see that there is some kind of effect not just here :-)

That might be an idea. I will check that out, thanks! -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
