Other programs (like xterm, gvim and other gtk2 based programs) use client side fonts which are named with the true font name.In xterm: xterm -fn -microsoft-tahoma-bold-r-normal--24-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 xterm -fa "Tahoma 24" -fs 24 ^^^ This disables wide paddings. @Thomas: Do you know what is causing this?
I'm not sure what "wide paddings" refers to. A quick check on my Debian machine shows I can run xterm -fa "Tahoma 24" -fs 24 xterm -fa "Tahoma" -fs 24 with the same effect. Perhaps the Xft library is ignoring the part after the space. The -fs option is what actually determines the size. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
