Since xterm allows one to specify a client-side font with a full fontcofig pattern, you can try adding »:minspace=true« to the pattern. libXft’s behavior changes with that flag: ,----[ from libXft/src/xftfreetype.c ] | if (fi->minspace) | height = ascent + descent; | else | height = face->size->metrics.height >> 6; `---- The >>6 is for conversion from freetype's 26.6 bit fixed point value to an integer value, and metrics.height is specified in the font. I currently use these forms for various programs: DejaVu Sans Mono-7.2:minspace=true DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=13:minspace=true (those two give the same results on my (not-quite-ancient) 133dpi laptop). -JimC -- James Cloos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
