Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 113270
Incorrect sizing of starmath 10-pt no-break space (U+00A0)
Last modified: 2007-04-18 13:01:06 EDT
(should be against 'ttfonts', not included in component selection) Description of problem: No-break space (U+00A0) in starmath 10-pt font incorrect dimensions Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ttfonts 1.0.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Ximian Evolution 2. Select "fixed-width" font as preference 3. Compose an email message which includes consecutive spaces Actual results: Characters become misaligned as the blank string becomes longer Expected results: Alignment Additional info: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47713 Out-of-the-box setting for fixed width font is "Monospace 10". Pango picks "Luxi Mono 10" when displaying spaces, "StarMath 10" when displaying U+00A0. The dimensions of the U+00A0 character corresponds to a 9-point font.
Moved to Red Hat 9 distro for better component match.
FWIW: ttfonts package appears to be carried over from 7.3 distro. Releases 8.0 and 9 don't include ttfonts-*.rpm but do include ttfonts-[ja|ko|zh-CN|zh-TW] and ttfprint. Should ttfonts be getting included/updated as well?
ttfonts was removed since RHL 8.0.
