Fri 08 Jun 2012 04:30:29 AM UTC, comment #4: This report (not the one on LaunchPad) is talking about two special versions of FreeMono which don't have the `isFixedPitch' is set. I have explained the behaviour of FreeType's auto-hinter which needs this flag be set for correct handling of mono-width fonts. Due to a chang in FreeType, the problem was indeed not visible in earlier FreeType versions.

If you aren't following it already, some input from the FreeType project would be appreciated there, as it seems there's some confusion over the meaning and use of isFixedPitch. |

Hi, Werner,

Very well, I'm glad to take that view.
In that case, this report discusses a conflict of development versions of FreeType with obsolete versions of FreeFont. So it is just as well the issue be closed here.
This was news to me, and is good to know. thank you.
As I said, the current version of FreeMono binaries have the bit set.
Yes, but there were problems (different) problems on Windows. For this reason, I have worked hard to resolve the question.
About the meaning of `isFixedPitch', I cite standards, to which the current version of FreeFont complies. But I've done this elsewhere, and since the present issue is closed, there is no reason to carry it further here.
Thanks!
