Details:
I don't know if this problem is specific to Xlib, but it might appear only
there because other backends are probably using continuously scalable fonts
only.
Everything started because on my linux computer this fails:
[fonts addObject:[NSFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:16.0]];
(code taken form simplewebkit)
in Ink.app I am able to specify in the font panel helvetica of size 16 and no
problem occours, although the displayed font is actually the same as size 14!
now I am on another computer (netbsd) and I have the same problem. What I did
check is that Ink fails to display correctly most sizes. Using xfontsel, I
notice that only a couple of sizes are available for Helvetica in syle Roman.
Shouldn't then those sizes not appear in the font panel dialog? and how should
fontWithName behave?
I will check on my linux box if the incriminated sizes are available there or
not.
