Hi,

This issue is forward from debian/BTS #590831

Subject: wish for --font-height=16, fix 1px padding of unifont
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:02:14 +1000
Package: fbterm
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: wishlist

I want to replace jfbterm (using PCF unifont) with fbterm (using TTF
unifont).  Unfortunately, it seems to force 1px padding between cells:

    $ fbterm -vs16 -nunifont -- login -f twb
    [screen] driver: inteldrmfb, mode: 1024x600-32bpp, scrolling: redraw
    [font] width: 9px, height: 17px, ordered list: unifont, DejaVu Sans, DejaVu Sans Mono, DejaVu Serif
    [term] size: 113x35, default codec: UTF-8

In jfbterm I get the same size unifont glyphs, but they're packed a
little more tightly (and look better):

    # jfbterm -e login -f twb
    $ echo $COLUMNS'x'$LINES
    128x37

I can "fix" the width with --font-width=8, but I can't force the
height to 16px instead of 17px.  I also tried -s15, -s15.9, -s16pt,
-s16px, -nunifont-16 and -nunifont:pixelSize=16 -- none of which
worked.

I *think* a cheap way to get what I want is to simply patch in a
corresponding --font-height=16 option that sets mHeight.

PS: I'd actually prefer DejaVu + Dotum over unifont, but fbterm
doesn't do antialiasing, so to me ALL outline fonts look crap in it.

I tested attached patch. Work fine for me.
I applied this patch on Debian.
Could you apply?

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro

TTF unifont gives different width/height from PCF unifont.

Thanks for your patch! I will add it in next version.  

In order to let FbTerm do antialiasing for font Dejavu Sans Mono, perhaps you 
should add/modify specific configuration  of fontconfig for that font.
