Hi,

[Linux/CVS]

Can someone active and the arena of beautification please do something 
about the messy display of a game (with variations and comments) in the 
PGN window? My suspicion is that the various (reused!) Write* routines 
in game.cpp lost a lot of their elegance in favour of some of the nifty 
game export features that we have (LaTeX, ..., ?).

It is mainly the spacing/newline-ing that irritates me a lot. Sometimes 
multiple blank lines are inserted, sometimes comments are glued 
pixel-accurate to the move preceeding or following it.

A few examples:

Non-column style:
Add a comment to a black move and see how it sits tied up to the white 
move following it.
Add a comment to a white move and see how the next black move is 
(nicely, or wrongly, whatever) rendered at the start of the next line.

Column style:
Add a variation to a black move: One blank line in between the main move 
(or comment) and the variation.
Add a variation to a white move: Two blank lines in between the main 
move and the variation.

Is there a single combination of display options (let's not be too 
critical) that has a decent and regular look? I will immediately start 
using it.

Thanks,
Joost.
