Hi,
some days ago a new Edje feature hit CVS. It can be even useful, so I
guess I should document it a bit.

Edje writers now can make their parts use "alternate font metrics". This
will make libedje compute the size of a text part a little different
than usual.

Using that alternate metrics mode usually only makes sense for
monospace fonts. With a monospace font, that mode will ensure that your
text parts have the same width/height for any string contents (given you
use the same number of characters ;D). If you happen to write a music
player UI and want to implement a "song ticker" widget, you may find it
useful :)

Regards,
Tilman
