In support of this not being a bug, I have code which uses the correct, standards-compliant behavior of fgets. Contrary to Andrew's report, it's very easy to know how much is read by fgets and use it with data containing '\0'. Simply ensure the buffer does not contain any occurrances of '\n' (for

Bug#179286: please justify wontfix

2007-11-19 Thread Rich Felker
If this bug is going to be marked wontfix, I think a justification is in order. Enabling eightBitInput (which Henning has correctly noted is a misnomer) by default clashes with non-7bit characters, making it unreasonable for any application using a terminal to attempt to treat octets with the 8th

Bug#437007: against aliasing ms fonts

2007-10-01 Thread Rich Felker
I’m against making default aliases for these fonts, for two reasons: 1. The proposed fonts to replace the MS fonts are not clones of the MS fonts. They do not look similar and do not have similar metrics. Aliases should be used only as a means of providing actual font clones or generic
