  This is mostly a tracking bug for this discussion on ubuntu-devel:

  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  devel/2016-February/039224.html

  The following precise-era patch was recently removed from freetype:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  branches/ubuntu/wily/freetype/wily/view/head:/debian/patches-
  freetype/revert_scalable_fonts_metric.patch

  which caused a number of visual effects in various applications.  In
  Emacs, the lines get vertically closer so that more lines are visible
  on screen.  This is subtle and doesn't look too bad otherwise.

  However, in Claws-Mail several negative effects were noticed.  The
  lines in the Summary window are more squished together and the
  characters appear squished too.  This is with Sans 10 font.  This is
  less readable.

  In the Message window it's worse.  There I use Ubuntu  Mono 14.  The
  problem isn't the vertical spacing, but the horizontal spacing.  Now
  there is more space between characters and that actually makes the
  window less readable.

  I will contact the upstream Claws mailing list to see if they have any
  thoughts.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1547196] Re: Removal of revert_scalable_fonts_metric.patch causes ugliness in Claws-Mail

2016-07-04 Thread Fibbles
This bug is also affecting Code::Blocks. The default monospace font
(DejaVu Sans Mono, 10pt) is now rendered with slightly less height which
makes all of the code look like it has been squished vertically. It's
particularly obvious with the = signs which are now so squished it's
difficult to make out the separate lines.

Yes, it's unfortunate.  I've had to config away from Ubuntu Mono font in
Claws because it was just unreadable.  I've managed to keep it in gnome-
terminal and Emacs though.

  The following precise-era patch was recently removed from freetype:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  branches/ubuntu/wily/freetype/wily/view/head:/debian/patches-
  freetype/revert_scalable_fonts_metric.patch

  which caused a number of visual effects in various applications.  In
  Emacs, the lines get vertically closer so that more lines are visible
  on screen.  This is subtle and doesn't look too bad otherwise.

  However, in Claws-Mail several negative effects were noticed.  The
  lines in the Summary window are more squished together and the
  characters appear squished too.  This is with Sans 10 font.  This is
  less readable.

  In the Message window it's worse.  There I use Ubuntu  Mono 14.  The
  problem isn't the vertical spacing, but the horizontal spacing.  Now
  there is more space between characters and that actually makes the
  window less readable.

  I will contact the upstream Claws mailing list to see if they have any

re-adding the patch gave me the terminal font I want, maximized

I'll use this until something provided by the distro works for me.

2016-02-29 Thread Timo Aaltonen
So looks like on my laptop the terminal looks fine, but on my desktop
(2560x1400) the monospace font size 8 & 9 are equally wide, and 8 is
what I use so the end result is ugly. 7 is way too small. Laptop
(3200x1800) uses size 9, and changing to size 8 the width changes too.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1547196] Re: Removal of revert_scalable_fonts_metric.patch causes ugliness in Claws-Mail

2016-02-29 Thread Barry Warsaw
FWIW, and unsurprisingly, the claws-mail mailing list doesn't think
there's a bug in that application.  I've had to change fonts to Droid
Sans 11 for folders and message lists, and Ubuntu Mono 13 for the
message window.  It's not what I want, but it's tolerable.

I have noticed other geometry changes with gnome terminal and Emacs, and
have had to adjust some settings, but so far I haven't had to actually
change the font of either of them.  I understand the rationale for
backing this patch out, but it does seem to have some negative side-
effects for me.  My understanding is that the patch caused problems for
other people though.  I suspect we'll have to wait (perhaps in vain) for
a font expert to dig into the issue.

Title:
  Removal of revert_scalable_fonts_metric.patch causes ugliness in
  Claws-Mail

Status in freetype package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in freetype package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  This is mostly a tracking bug for this discussion on ubuntu-devel:

  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  devel/2016-February/039224.html

  The following precise-era patch was recently removed from freetype:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
  branches/ubuntu/wily/freetype/wily/view/head:/debian/patches-
  freetype/revert_scalable_fonts_metric.patch

  which caused a number of visual effects in various applications.  In
  Emacs, the lines get vertically closer so that more lines are visible
  on screen.  This is subtle and doesn't look too bad otherwise.

  However, in Claws-Mail several negative effects were noticed.  The
  lines in the Summary window are more squished together and the
  characters appear squished too.  This is with Sans 10 font.  This is
  less readable.

  In the Message window it's worse.  There I use Ubuntu  Mono 14.  The
  problem isn't the vertical spacing, but the horizontal spacing.  Now
  there is more space between characters and that actually makes the
  window less readable.

  I will contact the upstream Claws mailing list to see if they have any
  thoughts.
