Description Funda Wang 2005-03-12 16:04:13 UTC 
Currently, libxft is using font->public.max_advance_width to get the width of 
glyphs. But this is not the case in CJK environments. CJK fonts often include 
both full-width and half-width glyphs, while those glyphs are using different 
width of course. public.max_advance_width makes all the half-width glyphs become 
wider.

Patch to libxft 2.1.6

Do not use public.max_advance_width to get the width of certain glyph, use
glyphslot->metrics.vertAdvance and glyphslot->metrics.horiAdvance instead.
