Subject: More on fixed-width fonts in konsole problem (on Solaris 2.7)

Hmmm,

I enabled a few debug lines (commented printf commands) in TEWidget.cpp,
TEWidget::fontChange and I see:

font: Screen,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,1,0
fixed: yes
font_h: 14
font_w: 9
font_a: 10
rawname: -sun-screen-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-70-iso8859-1

So Knsole thinks (as Qt told it) that width of the font is 9. The 
window size is 80x24, and the window width is 738 (9*80 = 720 + some 
width for scrollbar).

But actually, the font width is 7! I can confirm this with rxvt.

The problem could be with Qt (Qt is giving the wrong value).

I change this loop in TEWidget::fontChange:

  int fw;
  font_w = 1;
  for(int i=0;i<128;i++) {
    if( isprint(i) && font_w < (fw = fm.width(i)))
      font_w = fw;
  }

to:

  int fw;
  font_w = 1;
  for(int i=0;i<128;i++) {
    if( isprint(i) && font_w < (fw = fm.width(i)))
      printf("intermediate fw: %d (i=%d)\n",fw, i);
      font_w = fw;
  }

and I see:

intermediate fw: 9 (i=9)
font: Screen,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,1,0
fixed: yes
font_h: 14
font_w: 7
font_a: 10
rawname: -sun-screen-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-m-70-iso8859-1

Whew!

I don't know what happened or what did the trick, but Konsole works
with the screen and typewriter fonts now!!

Any clues as to what might be happening?

Thanks,
Devendra
