Hi, I haven't followed the details of this thread, I just want to confirm that I have seen this "clipping" problem myself quite often. Since I use gretl both on Linux and Windows I can't remember on which platform that was.
One of the reasons why I didn't report it earlier was that with the problems that gretl had producing good pdf and eps files, this problem was second-order to me. (Now that gretl does a much better job at pdf and eps, maybe that's become different.) I agree with Allin it's not a show-stopper. But I also agree with Alan it's a bug. (hey your names together are a bit confusing, will you have more list discussions like that? maybe we should give you aliases then :-) If I can help with the diagnosis or testing (cross-platform maybe or whatever) I'm happy to do it. cheers, sven Alan G Isaac schrieb: > On 11/1/2009 7:26 PM, Allin Cottrell wrote: >> I'm not sure if this is really worth bothering about -- since PNG >> is not the format of choice for "production quality" graphics -- >> but it does appear that there's a teensy bug somewhere in the >> implementations of pango and/or cairo for MS Windows, with respect >> to font-handling. >> > > > Hi Allin, > > I would urge a different perspective.
