Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can't see underscores on Ubuntu 20.04 (#2502)

[Jarno Suni]

The bug is fixed in Scintilla 5.1.2:

> On GTK, fix the line spacing so that underscores and accents are visible for 
> some fonts such as DejaVu Sans Mono 10.

No Ubuntu release seem to have a version of  libqscintilla* near that great.

[almir-campos]

I got the same problem and tried the proposed solution (adjusting the 
line-height), but nothing changed even when I exaggerated the the line_height 
as:

```line_height=10;10;false;false```

There were no visible changes in any line_heights neither by reloading the 
configuration nor by quitting and restarting Geany.

Any clues?

I have underscores working on Manjaro, but instead I get Swedish characters 
cropped at the top so that "ÅÄÖ" looks like "AAO" while smaller "åäö" works.

@kkadhith your pasted filetypes.common has not only the `[styling]` line and 
the `line_height` line uncommented but all the comment lines are also 
uncommented.  Thats going to totally confuse the conf file reader so no 
surprise it doesn't work.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can't see underscores on Ubuntu 20.04 (#2502)

[Adhith Karthikeyan]

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 and I still have this problem. I attached my 
filetypes.common [here](https://pastebin.com/EsG6M9EU). I uncommented `styling` 
and added `line_height=1;1;`, but I still have this issue. I am using DejaVu 
Sans Mono with a font size of 11. I noticed that zooming in or increasing the 
size of the font resolves the issue, but I would like to stick to 11pt font. 

Someone suggested changing the font to Nimbus Mono PS Regular, but I really 
dislike that font. If there are any alternative fonts that don't have issues, 
let me know.

@cyberfox1 all people who work on Geany are volunteers, they do what they want 
to work on.  Of course its annoying to you, but being abusive or grouchy at 
them won't get you anywhere, they will just ignore you.

> it is ALL fonts and Geany is currently an unusable product.

This is quite clearly incorrect, _you_ may have a problem with all fonts, but 
lots of people use Geany on Ubuntu and its many derivatives quite happily.  
None of them have reported problems on anything other than Deja Vu fonts (which 
Ubuntu uses as generic monospace as well) but as you would understand if you 
read the explanation above, it is possible other fonts could have the issue, 
but many don't.

So there is something different about _your_ system, but if you do not provide 
any information about it nobody can help you, and as I said, if you are grumpy 
or abusive nobody will want to help you.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can't see underscores on Ubuntu 20.04 (#2502)

[elextr]

The issue is in the deja-vu fonts which at some font sizes at some screen 
resolutions specify a line height that is too small to contain the underscore 
once it is rounded to an integral number of pixels.  A quick google will show 
that it affects both vscode and eclipse and in both cases the same workaround 
is used, manually increase the line height.

A change has been made in Scintilla to reduce the situations this occurs, but 
it may not be a full fix.  That change will bubble through Geany in due course 
and hopefully will improve things, but there is not going to be a total fix at 
the client end.  So the issue is closed with a workaround because its not 
something we can independently fix.

Whilst its tempting to yell at Ubuntu to "fix your [expletive deleted] font" 
since that is the underlying problem a) I doubt that would have any effect, and 
b) its difficult for them to do so given they don't know the resolution of the 
screen being used, and the font size chosen, and therefore which way the 
rounding is going to go. If they adjust the line height too far it will result 
in complaints of excessive space between lines on some systems.  

Its just unfortunate that Ubuntu chose that font as the monospace default so 
the issue shows up in lots of places.

hum... i don't know why this problem does not exist on many other editors (e.g. 
vscode, bluefish, octave).

This issue should not be closed until it is resolved. I mean it is great to 
have a workaround, but the solution needs to be implemented by default IMHO

@Lo0is next time please paste to a pastebin and only paste a link here instead 
of spamming every watcher of this repository with your whole file ... twice.

And to emphasise what @b4n is saying remove the `#~ ` from the `[styling]` line 
and the `line_height=...` line.

@Lo0is lines starting with `#` are comment lines, they are not used.  You need 
to comment-out line 2 so it reads `[styling]`, and the line that has 
`line_height` so it reads `line_height=1;1;`.

@Lo0is wait, I think I know the issue: is that setting properly in a 
`[styling]` section?  By default the section itself is commented (on line 2), 
which then doesn't work.

the solution did not help much, considering that I used another value but 
nothing

I find myself today, that I can no longer display the underscores.
Someone who solved, could give me some indication.

I don't feel like changing compiler.

This been fixed in Geany 1.37.
The workaround to set `line_height` in `filetypes.common` is no longer 
necessary.

I had the same issue. I fixed it by changing the fonts: View->Change Font

@codinghedgehog-python what did you change? The recommended fix 
[above](https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2502#issuecomment-627789435) 
doesn't change font sizes, just adds a few pixels to the spacing to fit the 
underscores.

The workaround works but makes the font size super large. I can read my code 
from 5 metres away XD. So if I'm getting this right the only way to have it 
working normally like it used to, is to either go back to Ubuntu 18.04 or to 
install previous release of Geany. Correct ?

Sorry, my last comment is wrong. The underscore fix in Scintilla is *not* in 
the 3.20.0 release.
Since I noticed it only after updating our Scintilla copy, we got #2506 anyway 
:).

This already happened, the change is in the Scintilla 3.20.0 release and it 
works on my system, i.e. I do see underscores again.

So, we just need to update Scintilla and get this resolved (at least for some 
or ideally most users).
I'll give it a shot.

Thanks and sorry for duplicate, I didn't search the closed issues :(

Changing **Tools > Configuration Files > filetypes.common** to include

```
[styling]
line_height=0;2;
```
solved this bug !

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can't see underscores on Ubuntu 20.04 (#2502)

[elextr]

I would expect that underscore isn't a simple line, but a filled shape like all 
other characters, so its probably not so simple.  And the issue isn't so much 
drawing the underscore as the next line drawing over it because the line height 
is too small (or the underscore drop is too large).

Anyway the thing is to wait for the Scintilla change to ripple through 
Scintilla LTS branch and into Geany and see if its better (and if other fonts 
are worse :(

[elextr]

I didn't look at the change Neil made, but I think he might have changed a 
truncation to a rounding, but not sure if that was round up/down/nearest.  But 
of course that may just change the perturbation surface to numbers near x.5 not 
numbers near x.0.  It depends on screen resolutions, the font measurements etc 
so there is no simple universal solution like "add 0.5" sadly.

Re: [Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can't see underscores on Ubuntu 20.04 (#2502)

[Matthew Brush]

I saw that thread but didn't really understand what it's about. Can we just 
change the default in Geany to fix the issue once and for all without 
noticeable impact on other fonts? Is it just a matter of adding `0.5f` to clamp 
it to the next nearest pixel as is often required in Cairo drawing?

And not just Ubuntu, Neil at Scintilla had it on Fedora too.  Discussions on 
that ML seemed to suggest that the font may be sensitive to rounding when 
converting measurements to integer pixels.  There was a change to the rounding 
on Scintilla which may help, but rounding still occurs and setting extra line 
descent may always be necessary with some fonts.

I guess we can expect a flood of new duplicates as people upgrade to Ubuntu 
20.04 (and derivatives) and encounter this issue. I can confirm it happens here 
too, but it's not limited to Geany, for example it happens in HexChat too.

[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Can't see underscores on Ubuntu 20.04 (#2502)

[bristow]

Hello everyone,

Since the migration to Ubuntu 20.04, Geany no longer displays underscores.
I have to zoom in considerably to see them.

Any ideas on how to solve this annoying problem? Thanks for this fabulous 
software !
