I pinned down the problem, but have no fix. In Flocale.c, the
function XmbTextEscapement is used to get the width of a string.
It returns the offset from the start of the string where the next
character would be printed, but for slanted fonts that is not the
width of the bounding box:
normal font:
|
|
|
|
|
^
|
start of next character, width = 1
slanted font:
/
/ ^
/ |___ width of bounding box = 5
/
/
^
|
start of next character, width = 1
Any idea what we can do about it?
