It turns out this is the same bug I was having w/ on screen fonts. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that 100% seems to ignore the screen's actual dimensions and treats it as if it were soemthing near 72 or 75 dpi. On a 133 dpi panel that is not usable. I have to either use the general preference's display tab to set 200% or use the view menu's 200% option. The latter is a bit better than for former, but is still not very good. I think what is happening is that although the glyph placement remains good, the actual glyphs are being scaled up twice. So I get 4x sized glyphs placed as though they were scaled only to 2x. I will take a look thru the code and try to patch around that double scaling; it may take me a while to figure it out, as I've not yet even skimmed the scribus code.... As an aside, from running w/ XFT_DEBUG=255, I see that xft is only used for the menus and the font selection dialog. The text boxes are rendered w/o using xft. Can that be fixed w/o re-writing too much code? -JimC
