Package: ttf-arabeyes Version: 2.0-5 Severity: normal Hi,
While using a Xft-enabled Emacs23, I noticed that some fonts included in this package have "wide" Arabic diacritics, almost taking up the whole line. I did some testing, and I think that this problem is caused by the large values of width of diacritics used in some of these fonts. You can verify this by running: xfd -fa metal Notice that the width of ARABIC DAMMA is shown to be 584 or more, whereas other Arabic fonts have a width for DAMMA between 0-10 (this goes for Alarabyia, Granada, and fonts in ttf-farsiweb -- all working fine under Emacs). The following is a list of the fonts affected: khalid almohanad metal arab cortoba sindbad mashq alyarmook rehan furat alhor nagham rasheeq salem sharjah nada graph shado ostorah kayrawan tarablus almateen petra Regards, Thamer -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Pkg-fonts-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-fonts-bugs _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
