Package: xchat Version: 2.4.5-2 Severity: normal Using the DejaVu Sans 12 font for the text box, I get slightly weird displays. If someone whose nick contains kerned bigrams (such as "To") types some text containing non-ASCII characters, the message is displayed slightly shifted to the left, apparently by the number of pixels "regained" through kerning. If the nick does not involve kerning, or if that person only types ASCII, then nothing bad happens. Not sure how explicit this textual description is, so I'll attach a screenshot to this bug report as soon as I find out how to do that. You'll notice the weirdness on the fourth message.
I'm not really sure where the bug comes from. It may be Pango or Gtk+ returning wrong results on string width, or Xchat not understanding it properly, or maybe the font server. Feel free to reassign appropriately. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-amd64-generic Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xchat depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.10.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.5-8.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libglib2.0-0 2.8.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.9-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.10.1-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libperl5.8 5.8.7-10 Shared Perl library ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7g-5 SSL shared libraries ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System protocol client li ii python2.3 2.3.5-8 An interactive high-level object-o ii tcl8.4 8.4.11-1 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii xchat-common 2.4.5-2 Common files for X-Chat ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11 X Window System client libraries m xchat recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
