In fontconfig 2.3, there are several CJK fonts configured to disable global advance already. Check out the fonts.conf where you'll find: <!-- Some Asian fonts misadvertise themselves as monospaced when in fact they are dual-spaced (half and full). This makes FreeType very confused as it forces all widths to match. Undo this magic by disabling the width forcing code --> <match target="font"> <test name="family"><string>GulimChe</string></test> <edit name="globaladvance"><bool>false</bool></edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test name="family"><string>DotumChe</string></test> <edit name="globaladvance"><bool>false</bool></edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test name="family"><string>BatangChe</string></test> <edit name="globaladvance"><bool>false</bool></edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test name="family"><string>GungsuhChe</string></test> <edit name="globaladvance"><bool>false</bool></edit> </match> Feel free to send along more family names that need this treatment and I'll stick 'em in the next release. -keith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
