Hi, I reported a problem with Pango text rendering in FontForge, and was referred here :-)
If anyone can fix this, I can offer a small tip via paypal :-) Forwarded conversation Subject: Font View window font is displayed 10px under where it should be? ------------------------ From: Dave Crossland <[email protected]> Date: 2009/1/12 To: fontforge-users <[email protected]> Hi, I've just installed FontForge from CVS on a fresh install of Fedora 10, and found the font used for labels in the Font View window is displayed 10px under where it should be. I used the following commands: su; yum install libpng-devel zlib-devel libtiff-devel giflib-devel \ libjpeg-devel libxml2-devel libuninameslist-devel cairo-devel \ python-devel git subversion mercurial pango-devel; yum groupinstall x-software-development development-tools; exit; cd ~; mkdir src; cd src; cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/fontforge login; cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/fontforge co fontforge; cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/freetype login; cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/sources/freetype co freetype2; svn co http://libspiro.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/libspiro/; gedit freetype2/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h cd ~/src/libspiro; ./configure; make; su; make install; exit ./configure --enable-pyextension --enable-type3 --enable-pasteafter \ --enable-tilepath --enable-double --enable-device-tables \ --with-capslock-for-alt --with-freetype-bytecode \ --with-freetype-src=../freetype2 --with-x --with-pango; make su; make install; exit /usr/local/bin/fontforge; This is the "font view" window I see: http://dave.lab6.com/acid/dump/2009/fontforge-strange-font.png Going to File, X Resource Editor, and editing the Font Family items in the FontView pane to monospace,clearlyu,unifont and Saving As ~/.FontForge/theme.txt and checking storing filename in preferences, and then restarting fontforge, gives the same result using a anti-alised (pango) font: http://dave.lab6.com/acid/dump/2009/fontforge-pango-fontview.png Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it? I'd also like to mention I tried installing Michał Nowakowski's excellent ClearLooks theme from http://fontforge.wiki.sourceforge.net/theme-clearlooks - this also doesn't help, although in the screenshot on that wiki page its fine. cd ~/.FontForge/; curl -O http://dave.lab6.com/acid/dump/2009/fontforge-theme-clearlooks.zip; unzip fontforge-theme-clearlooks.zip; /usr/local/bin/fontforge; File, Preferences, Select ~/.FontForge/theme-clearlooks.txt - File, Quit /usr/local/bin/fontforge; FWIW, I also managed to make a theme.txt that uses his theme that segfaults: dave.lab6.com/acid/dump/2009/theme-segfaults.txt -- Regards, Dave ---------- From: George Williams <[email protected]> Date: 2009/1/16 To: Dave Crossland <[email protected]> Cc: fontforge-users <[email protected]> To me, this looks like a bug in pango. _______________________________________________ gtk-i18n-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-i18n-list
