package: emacs23 version: 23.2+1-2 severity: normail original report is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-jp-improvement/+bug/596423
DESCRIPTION: With Takao Gothic in use, Emacs frames are shown twice as wide as it supposed to be. For example, if you write (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 64)) in your .emacs, Emacs frmaes are created with 128 characters width. This is problematic, e.g., when you use the shell mode, which underestimates the frame width. As a result, 'ls' command shows its result annoyingly narrowly. WORKAROUND: Here is the workaround I found. 1. Create ~/.fonts.conf and write the following to it <match target="font"> <test compare="contains" target="pattern" name="lang"> <string>zh-tw</string> <string>zh-cn</string> <string>ja</string> <string>ko</string> </test> <edit name="spacing"><int>0</int></edit> <edit name="globaladvance"><bool>false</bool></edit> </match> 2. Run "fc-cache -f -v" to enable the change. 3. Create ~/.Xresources and write the following to it. (You can set the font size to whatever size you like) Emacs.font: TakaoGothic-12:spacing=0 4. Run "xrdb -remove ~/.Xresources ; xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" to enable the change. That's all. Currently in my environment, the font for Emacs is configured in ~/.Xresources alone.
