[ctwm] Font sizes off in ctwm-3.8
I'm finally trying to merge my ctwm hacks (until now only merged up to ctwm-3.7) into a monotone branch synced up to the latest and greatest. I'm basically done, except for the fact that I get oddly large fonts in my workspace manager and oddly large space around my text in window titles and in the icon manager. After some quick experiments, I concluded that the problem is not in my hacks, but in ctwm-3.8. More specifically the problem is not present in the t:ctwm-3.7 tag but it is present in the t:twm-3.8 tag. I've included two snapshots of my workspace manager and an accompagnying icon manager, which illustrate the two problems: the font used in the workspace manager is larger, and the icon manager has more space around the window names so the buttons take up more real-estate (and this space is not regularly distributed: the text ends up slightly lower than before). The images do not illustrate the third problem (seen in window-titles) because it is basically the same as the one for icon-manager entries (except with a different font size). Hope this helps, Stefan attachment: ctwm-3.8.pngattachment: ctwm-3.7.png

FWIW, I've seen this when I start up ctwm in a UTF-8 (rather than C) locale. I haven't gotten a chance to try and dig it out, though. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.

I don't entirely recall all the implications, but it's quite possible that the changes you see are effects of that correction, and it's also very possible that things can be made to work even better.

The change was more about proper handling of font sets than ISO 10646, really... It's quite possible that the following revision directly contains the change that affected you: 84588e8426c83b9d905d528ce6c093141439510e Otherwise, the changes concerning locale changes are: f2abcc859cca628f2b368c51e6451063743bce8d 063e316d67e823a9d9c8e8b732e585b3455eb198 cf86cef35ea848eecd9f8c843cf41d2109ea0ffe monnier Would you like push rights on my server? Send me your monnier public monotone key. monnier monnier I'm still very much a newbie with monotone and would rather monnier limit my mess-ups to my own repository for now. Nothing stops you from starting a branch and hacking in that until you're satisfied... But it's your choice, of course. Cheers, Richard - Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
