The problems worked in both directions -- there were many fonts which are useful in terminal emulators (like some versions of andale mono) which weren't marked as monospaced, making those not visible in KDE, and (worse, it turns out), there were many Japanese fonts which were marked as monospaced but which were not. This latter issue caused significant problems as Xft forced any font with the monospace attribute to be spaced according to the maximum width of all glyphs in the font. One easy possibility is to compute the spacing attribute directly from the font; scan all of the glyphs and mark fonts as monospaced when they are in fact monospaced. I think that would be easy enough to try, and may fix this particular problem well enough. -keith
