In addition to Konsole, gnome-terminal, Mozilla-xft(for rendering text/plain or a portion of html documents with font style set to monospace), vim-gtk2 and a lot of other programs that require 'fixed-width' fonts have the same problem with CJK 'fixed-width' (actually 'bi-width') fonts. I was about to look into Xft/Pango to see if I can solve this problem because fixing it on application program side seems ineffcient, but 'googled' it to find this message that was sitting in my mailbox unread. The follow-up yours is missing (because I had a network outage for a few days), but found it in the archive. It seems like the patch mentioned by Ken is more ambitious than Anthony's (http://www.kde.gr.jp/~akito/patch/fcpackage/2_1/) and it is probably harder to put that into upcoming 4.3.0 release. Therefore, I'm wondering what Keith thinks of adding Anthony's or similar patch to Xft. CJK fixed-width font issue is serious for CJK users and it'd be very nice to take care of it before the release of 4.3.0. > TrueType fonts with the "fixedPitch" flag set to "true" to mean that: > > * All CJK glyphs have the same "fullwidth" > * The ASCII glyphs and other special glyphs have the same "halfwidth" > > I have submitted a small patch to the FreeType mailing list to deal with the > "halfwidth" monospace font issue, Has it been committed? > and it turns out that Xft has the same > issue. It took me a while to figure out that it was not konsole or Qt. :-) > Any idea on how to deal with the "15 / 2 = 7; 7 + 7 = 14" issue? :-) How about rounding up to the nearest even number before dividing it by 2?
