Follow-up Comment #1, bug #47109 (project gnustep): If someone wants to continue looking into fixing this, I've spent a few minutes trying to track this down completely blindly (i.e. I didn't actually run any code).
The number 16 in '16 characters until whitespace appears' _seems_ to come from: http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/gui/trunk/Source/NSLayoutManager.m method -drawGlyphsForGlyphRange:atPoint: line "#define GBUF_SIZE 16 /* TODO: tweak */". Combined with Riccardo's mention that this may be related to DPI, and following the call to C function GSShowGlyphsWithAdvances() from http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/gui/trunk/Source/NSGraphicsContext.m I'd say the fixer will want to look at http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/back/trunk/Source/cairo/CairoGState.m method -GSShowGlyphsWithAdvances:::, and http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/back/trunk/Source/cairo/CairoFontInfo.m method -drawGlyphs:length:on:. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47109> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list Bug-gnustep@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
