https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246573 ------- Comment #36 from mfabian@novell.com 2007-02-20 07:06 MST ------- I found another (minor) problem: mfabian@magellan:~$ fc-list "Sazanami Gothic" spacing mfabian@magellan:~$ fc-list "MS PGothic" spacing mfabian@magellan:~$ fc-list "MS Gothic" spacing :spacing=90 mfabian@magellan:~$ I.e. "Sazanami Gothic" and "MS PGothic" are proportional fonts (at least fontconfig thinks so) and "MS Gothic" is a dualspaced font. When a font is used as the single width font where fontconfig thinks it is a "dual spaced" font it doesn't work right, i.e. mfabian@magellan:~$ xterm -fa "MS Gothic" -fd "MS Gothic" won't work well, all characters, even the single width characters, become double width. But when a font is used where fontconfig thinks it is a “proportional” font like “Ms PGothic” is used, i.e. mfabian@magellan:~$ xterm -fa "MS PGothic" -fd "MS PGothic" it works a bit better although there are overlapping problems with the single width glyphs because this font is really proportional in the single width glyphs (but still monospaced in the double width glyphs). “Sazanami Gothic” is a dual width font for all practial purposes, therefore xterm -fa "Sazanami Gothic" -fd "Sazanami Gothic" works well. The reason fontconfig doesn't recognize it as a dual width font is probably due to some bugs in “Sazanami Gothic” some single width glyphs are probably broken (too wide) but as most common glyphs are correct, it works OK. Because of the problem describe above, LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 xterm -fa monospace -fd monospace might not work because "monospace" may happen to expand to a dual width font. That "monospace" may expand to a dual width font is perfectly fine, actually it is the closest approximation of monospace for a CJK locale. Unfortunately xterm cannot yet deal well with that. -- 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.
