I have just discovered that the same test with -dev qtwidget shows the same text-clipping issue. I have contacted Alban off list about this, and hopefully the fix will be trivial. I have also discovered that the svg device also has this text-clipping issue. This device was originally implemented by Hazen, and I assume the subsequent hacking by everybody else who was interested in this device did not introduce the issue. Hazen, the cairo issue is probably more important since there are so many cairo devices, but when you get time, I would appreciate you looking at this one as well if nobody else beats you to it. Some users such as Mark do use the -ori 1 and -ori 3 options so it is important to get this issue fixed for our cairo and qt devices (our two foremost device driver families), and svg (a single device driver that is interesting to lots of people since it generates results that look outstanding assuming you are using a bug-free svg viewer). Everyone here should be glad to know the xwin and tk (and presumably all Hershey-font) devices do not have this issue. Furthermore, the psc, psttfc, and wxwidgets devices (which like cairo and qt access modern fonts rather than the ancient Hershey ones) do not have this issue. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
