If I use the supplied ebuild for openbox, I get this (generated) configure line: ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-nls --disable-pango Interestingly enough, the configure says "Pango: yes" in then end and the resulting openbox binary is linked against pango. If I take that line and use it (instead of the conditional econf construct), it says Pango: no during configure and the resulting binary *isn't* linked against pango. Pango is not in my USE flags (-pango isn't, either). What's amiss here?
Confirmed here. And the worse is that pango miscalculates fontsizes... Spider noticed that ("...btw. openbox+pango, broken configure check, and the pango code miscalculates fontsizes to pixels.. bleh." -- http://darkmere.wanfear.com/blog/ )
Fixed in CVS.
Agh! You didn't have to kill pango support. It can be fixed in font.c: ------------------------------------------------------ g_object_unref(context); return result; */ - return f->xftfont->ascent + f->xftfont->descent + - (f->shadow ? f->offset : 0); + gint x, y; + font_measure_full(f, " ", &x, &y); + return y; #endif /* USE_PANGO */ }
I didn't kill pango support afaics -- I just made it act like it was supposed to -- on with USE="pango" and off w/o. If you make that a proper patch and reopen this bug with it attached, I can maek another revision with it.
Created attachment 60982 [details, diff] Workaround for huge fonts in Openbox+Pango Here's a workaround for the problem with the fonts. It multiplies the font size (which is the product of pixelsize*PANGO_SCALE) by 0.72 (72dpi). I don't know the right way to do this, as I'm no programmer. This post [1] helped me a lot.
