Description Funda Wang 2005-03-12 16:06:32 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.
Comment 1 Funda Wang 2005-03-12 16:09:06 UTC 
Please do not use font->public.max_advance_width, try
glyphslot->metrics.vertAdvance and glyphslot->metrics.horiAdvance instead.
