** Description changed: + + Affected Packages: emacs23, emacs-snapshot + + + DESCRIPTION: + + Emacs does not support "dual spacing"(Zenkaku) fonts. + So, with something(any?) Japanese font(included dual spacing/half spacingglyphs) in use, their fonts rendered with ugly spaces. And Emacs frames are shown twice as wide as it supposed to be. + + How to reproduce: + + 1) Install below packages Emacs: 23.1+1-4ubuntu7 ttf-takao-gothic: 003.02.01-2ubuntu1 - DESCRIPTION: - - With Takao Gothic in use, Emacs frames are shown twice as wide as it - supposed to be. - - For example, if you write + 2) Set (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 64)) in your .emacs, Emacs frmaes are created with 128 characters width. This is problematic, e.g., when you use the shell mode, which underestimates the frame width. As a result, 'ls' command shows its result annoyingly narrowly. + SOLUTION: + a) Apply patch. + http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=4129 + http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/commitdiff/4598ad269c5402e99604c702825cb8963c693402 + + b) update Emacs24 + + ============================================================ WORKAROUND: + ============================================================ Here is the workaround I found. 1. Create ~/.fonts.conf and write the following to it <match target="font"> <test compare="contains" target="pattern" name="lang"> <string>zh-tw</string> <string>zh-cn</string> <string>ja</string> <string>ko</string> </test> <edit name="spacing"><int>0</int></edit> <edit name="globaladvance"><bool>false</bool></edit> </match> 2. Run "fc-cache -f -v" to enable the change. 3. Create ~/.Xresources and write the following to it. (You can set the font size to whatever size you like) Emacs.font: TakaoGothic-12:spacing=0 4. Run "xrdb -remove ~/.Xresources ; xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" to enable the change. That's all. Currently in my environment, the font for Emacs is configured in ~/.Xresources alone.
