Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: tk9.0@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:tk9.0
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package tk9.0
[ Reason ]
The package fixes annoying bug with the size of fonts in
XFCE session on High DPI displays (see [1]). The displayed
text is twice as large as required by default.
[ Impact ]
The tk9.0 is not the default Tk versio, so the impact of this bug
will be fairly limited. But still it's nice to fix it.
[ Tests ]
There's no a special test for the difference, though they are
pretty trivial and the result can be seen by running a script like the
following:
label .l -text "Test Label"
pack .l
which shows huge text in XFCE session on a displya with DPI higher
than 160 (give or take).
[ Risks ]
The change is trivial, I dont expect any adverse effects for it.
[ Checklist ]
[+] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[+] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[+] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
(Anything else the release team should know.)

+From: Sergei Golovan
+Subject: Patch prevents Tk from setting font scaling factor to 2
+ in XFCE session when there is non-unity /Gdk/WindowScalingFactor
+ in effect. Tk font rendering does not depend on this scaling factor,
+ which means that if fontScalingFactor is set to 2 then the default
+ fonts appear twice as large as the correct ones.
