Humm, good point. This looks tricky at best. There are three components here: - Pango: can't be a pango bug since Pango doesn't draw anything whatsoever, - FreeType: unless the font is substituting a new 'o' glyph in that context, it's unlikely to be a FreeType issue, - cairo: hard to imagining it being a cairo issue either, since cairo composites glyphs and each individual glyph is rendered (by FreeType) separately, so I can't see why the bounding box of the glyph may be cropped in a specific context. To summarize, someone who can reproduce this needs to debug it. I couldn't reproduce. That said, the rendering looks to me like it's with patented bytecode-interpretter enabled. Not sure how that may make a difference. behdad > Werner _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
