Package: ttf-arabeyes
Version: 2.0-5
Severity: normal
Hi,
While using a Xft-enabled Emacs23, I noticed that some fonts included
in this package have "wide" Arabic diacritics, almost taking up the
whole line. I did some testing, and I think that this problem is
caused by the large values of width of diacritics used in some of
these fonts.
You can verify this by running:
xfd -fa metal
Notice that the width of ARABIC DAMMA is shown to be 584 or more,
whereas other Arabic fonts have a width for DAMMA between 0-10 (this
goes for Alarabyia, Granada, and fonts in ttf-farsiweb -- all working
fine under Emacs).
The following is a list of the fonts affected:
khalid
almohanad
metal
arab
cortoba
sindbad
mashq
alyarmook
rehan
furat
alhor
nagham
rasheeq
salem
sharjah
nada
graph
shado
ostorah
kayrawan
tarablus
almateen
petra
Regards,
Thamer
