Description Dibala Vasiliy 2006-05-19 07:37:38 UTC
Version:           2.5.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

In my version Kate vertical line not showing. I try use fonts:
Monospice, Lux Mono, Courier, but vertical line does not appear.
I use black color for line wrap marker.

Could you try with DejaVu Sans Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono or one of the 
old non-ttf fixed width fonts please?

Just saw this bug in the ML, and thought I'd give it a shot.

Changed font from Monospace ("margin" line did not show) to Bit Stream Vera Sans Mono and the "margin" line showed up right away.

Thanks for the work around!

AFAIK, the problem is with the Qt library, it has some errors in which fonts 
are seen as fixed width (and the line is not working with non-fixed-width 
fonts of course).

I setup Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, but Vertical line not shows.
Comment 5 Alexander 2006-05-23 20:24:56 UTC
this line appears only when i select font Corier New or "Fixed" font.

please tell some more about this problem.

in kdelibs/kate/part/katefont.cpp:

void KateFontStruct::updateFontData () {
  // [...]
  m_fixedPitch = QFontInfo( myFont ).fixedPitch();
}

QFontInfo returns sometimes false, allthough it *is* a fixed font. We cannot do anything about it, afaik.

yep, no chance to change this atm, perhaps in QT4 this is better...

Mark.
Situation is still the same in the end of 2016. It seems that to use a different font is the only option.
