Bug#399183: xserver-xorg: incorrectly calculates TrueType font metrics
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-6
Severity: normal
xserver-xorg uses incorrect TTF font metrics in iso10646-1 encoding.
I've noticed this comparing '-monotype-arial-*-iso10646-1' and
'-monotype-arial-*-iso8859-1' fonts (Arial from masttcorefonts package)
with xfd.
When the encoding is iso10646-1 the ascent and descent of any character is
the same. Also, some character widths are incorrect too. With iso8859-1
encoding all metrics look OK.
These findings do not depend on whether font server (xfs) is used.
Thanks!
