Created attachment 1689621 [details] See the letters like 'j', 'g', 'y', which are cut When I install hexchat (hexchat-2.14.3-3.fc32.x86_64) it has preselected in Settings->Preferences font "Monospace 9". It seems to be mapped to Dejavu font in Fedora 32, according to: $ fc-match monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Regular" I have installed dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-7.fc32.noarch and the font in hexchat has cut the text vertically, the bottom part of the line, some part below the base line, is missing. I guess it's due to misreported descent for the font, possibly some fraction, which, when recalculated to pixels, rounds down, causing the pixel cut. This is even more problematic for an underscore ('_'), which is not visible at all, because it's at the very bottom of the font height, thus it looks like a space, not underscore. I see this in more applications, not only with hexchat, thus it might not be a problem in there. I also see this with other fonts, like with: VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Regular" thus, maybe, it's even lower in the stack. I worked around this in my editor by adding one pixel to pango_font_metrics_get_descent() / PANGO_SCALE but it's only a workaround. I've also Fedora 30 machine and it has installed: dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-1.fc30.noarch and the hexchat shows lines properly. It also says: $ fc-match monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" I've also a Fedora 31 machine, which has installed: dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.37-2.fc31.noarch and hexchat is similarly broken as in Fedora 32. It says: $ fc-match monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" Looking in the package history in koji, there was not done any real change between 2.37-1 and 2.37-2. Thus, maybe, it is nothing new.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
