Description Alexander Patrakov 2003-04-17 03:22:06 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.1 
OS:          Linux

There were no problems with FreeType 2.1.3. When I upgraded to 2.1.4, the vertical lines formed by line-drawing characters (e.g. in Midnight Commander) became dashed if I select a font that is big enough.

See http://semzx.newmail.ru/screenshot1.png - this is with FreeType 2.1.4
With FreeType 2.1.3, all breaks are filled and there are more lines in Konsole window (with the same font).
Comment 1 Stephan Binner 2003-04-17 10:57:27 UTC 
Why do you blame Konsole if an exchange of freetype cause this problem?
Comment 2 Alexander Patrakov 2003-04-17 13:38:43 UTC 
Developers of FreeType mentioned in the ChangeLog that they fixed a rounding error. I think 
that 
1) Konsole depended on it 
2) People without knowledge of FreeType 2.1.3 will search for this bug and prbably find it 
invalid (if it is really a bug in FreeType - I await confirmation from Konsole developers before 
resolving this bug) along with the recomendation to replace FreeType.

I have freetype 2.1.5 installed.  Have you upgraded your freetype/KDE since this report?

The image URL is no longer valid...
Comment 4 Alexander Patrakov 2005-01-02 12:00:15 UTC 
I have installed Debian Unstable, with FreeType 2.1.7 and KDE 3.1.1 and the bug is still there.
