Another experiment with pygame's font API. Looks very strange. Printed out the width (in pixels, presumably) of a string of 100 letter 'x' rendered at different point sizes. Now FreeMono is 1000 units high and 600 wide. The point size is the height, and a point is 72 pt/in. My screen's

Hi Weeble, Regarding this FT_LOAD_IGNORE_GLOBAL_ADVANCE_WIDTH, Do you have more information on this, beyond the freetype patch submission? What OpenType table field is it referring to? (I would be interested to know if there is something to be improved in FreeMono!) It is very odd that some

Hi Mathieu, It may well be an unfortunate interaction with Nautilus. But the image thumbnails are not the issue: I tried it on a single folder, that contained a single folder. No thumbnail. Even if there were, it wouldn't explain this effect. For comparison, I used Nautilus to navigate my

Hi Sam, Is it possible there is some peculiarity of FreeMono that makes this happen on your system? Well sure. Fonts are terribly complicated really. But I don't think so. I can tell you, the spacing glyphs of FreeMono are uniformly 600EM wide (including 'H' and 'I'--I just triple-checked.)
