This problem is puzzling: I have an OpenType font with embedded bitmaps. The font is a monospace font that I use for coding and for my terminal windows. It is in OpenType/Bitmap format, because I am unable to get my gnome-based applications to work with either the PCF, BDF or FON version of this font (see my previous email about that). The problem is that when I use the font in a gnome-based application, such as gnome-terminal, or KDE application like konsole, the glyphs have an extra single pixel inserted between them, so the spacing is too wide. For instance, two underscore characters (__), will be displayed with a one-pixel gap between them. However, freetype shows the font correctly (using 'ftview'), and some applications have no trouble with the font: FireFox is configured to use this font for monospace text, and it shows it perfectly, without the extra spacing. Any idea why this would be ? (I'm attaching two small portions of screen capture to show the problem) -- Gilles -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
