Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Daniel Beardsmore (uilleann) Assigned to: Tim Ringenbach (marv_sf) Summary: IRC MOTD window font and size improvements Initial Comment: Under Win 2000 SP 4 at least (gaim 1.3.0 and GTK+ 2.6.7 A), IRC MOTD windows are showing a sans-serif proportional typeface. Given that IRC is predominantly a monospace environment, using a proportional face for the MOTD display upsets any formatting in the MOTD that relies on monospace type for its arrangement. I suggest gaim switch to using monospace type for the MOTD window. The MOTD window is also a bit on the small side, the lines of text already wrap as they are now (in proportional type). How badly this happens depends on the server; SlashNET Coruscant server's MOTD only has one line that wraps, but Freenode's Tolkien server's text wraps like crazy. Using a monospace font would of course worsen this as the letters are mostly wider for a given point size. Both server's ASCII art graphics get mangled by the font. GTK+ permitting, the best approach IMO would be to size the window according to the longest line of text in the MOTD (screen width permitting), and then you'd guarantee to always get it right. That failing, a boost to the window size should help instead :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.
