Description Eric S 2016-04-25 22:32:25 UTC 
If I change the font preference to use a compressed font (like Open Sans Condensed) and compare vs the regular version of the font (like Open Sans), the compressed version appears spaced out WIDER than the normal. The little font preview window does it correctly, but when you actually apply it to the editing window you get this inverse-compression effect. You can see this most dramatically with a set of fonts like Input Mono (http://input.fontbureau.com/) which has several different levels of compression, and Kate renders them all in inverse proportion to how they should be.

I know this sounds bizarre, but I get this happening consistently for several fonts, and only Kate does this wrong, other applications do it correctly.

BTW the version my Kate reports bear no resemblance to anything I'm offered in the version dropdown here. It reports:

Version 15.12.3
Using:
KDE Frameworks 5.21.0
Qt 5.6.0 (built against 5.6.0)
The xcb windowing system

Reproducible: Always

Known issue, and unfortunately still no fix in sight.
