[Fonts] freetype module sometimes gets font height (descent?) wrong

[Michael Lampe]

Try once with "freetype" and once with "xtt" loaded:

emacs -fn
 "-monotype-courier new-medium-r-normal--13-0-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1"
With "freetype" it looks like double-spaced. With "xtt" it's ok.

This is with current cvs, 4.3 and probably before.

[Fonts] font-related crash

[Jørn Villesen Christensen]

Hi there

I run a SuSE 8.2 distribution, but because of video driver (dri)
problems, I compiled and installed XFree from source
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.3.0/source/
and seems to work fine.

But I have a problem with my fonts. If I try to select certain fonts
(not all), the application (e.g. xfontsel) crashes and prints following
message:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Value in failed request:  0x35d
  Serial number of failed request:  1535
  Current serial number in output stream:  1536

I know that similar bugs have been reported earlier, but I could not get
an anser from them... Can anyone help?

One thing to note is that OpenOffice v1.1 runs fine and gladly displays
all the fonts!

Thanks...

~Jørn
