Moving to "In Test" since this has been fixed in the backend in current SVN. You will need the latest version of Terminal from CVS from the GAP project http://gap.nongnu.org.

During AlpenStep Fred worked with me and the current CVS version of Terminal in GAP contains the fix "not to work around". If you cannot make a cvs pull, i can give you a tarball for testing.

I can now only release Terminal after a new back release, or it won't work against current gnustep-back.

This is a problem in Terminal. The code here tries to work around a problem in the xlib fonts that report the bounding box of the font incorrectly. Instead of reporting that bug, the author tried to handle it locally and this "fix" now blocks cairo from working correctly.

I fixed xlib, now somebody will have to fix Terminal.

In Terminal.app, the text is drawn half a line too high, and so parts are cut off. This only happens with the cairo backend; it seems to be fine with the art backend.

It also seems to add extra space after certain letters (K,R,T,W,Y).

My guess is that some font metrics are reported incorrectly somewhere.
