--- Begin Message ---Package: grpn Version: 1.4.1-1+b1 Severity: important Howdy! I've flagged this `important` because the rendering bug is quite severe on my system, largely rendering grpn unusable for me. My system has a high DPI screen, and I correspondingly configure various system-level DPI to be higher to compensate. For example, I have `~/.Xresources` containing `Xft.dpi: 200`. Pango font rendering renders fonts correctly in and of itself, but grpn mis-calculates the line height in this circumstance. I'm not sure if there's a better method, but I found that using gdk_get_screen_resolution returns `200.0` for me, and I can scale grpn's calculated fontH and fontW by (resolution/96), which gives me perfect font rendering.
