Well, thinking more about these issues, I believe Xbae is buggy, too. Granted, negative min width in this specific case is an X server bug, but in general, negative values are legitimate when a font has all or some chars with the RtoL directionality. I suspect it's a freetype module bug. http://www.mail-archive.com/lesstif%40hungry.com/msg00025.html
