I have reported it as a bug. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52538 I have spent a large portion of today (in between painting the bathroom ceiling:-) ) trying to debug what is happening here. I have built a very small qdesigner app which just toggles the QFont::fixedPitch state of the font in a simple QLineEdit box. When the state is on, the text is double width, when off it displays normally. I've been using a debugger (gvd) to step through a home compiled (with debug) version of qt-copy. Unfortunately I have been unable to locate the place where the text is actually formatted and output. I have been close (QRichText.cpp - seems to calculate all the individual character widths in the string via a font metric) but all the font metrics (particularly of course the character width) seem to have standard values. I also haven't seen anything in all of this where the fixedPitch boolean is used. I have a suspicion that all the text display is actually handed off to the X libraries and its in here that the problem lies. The bug started when I upgraded libxft and installed fontconfig for the first time. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+MvS/uFHxcV2FFoIRAoISAJsH1ZKHAt6Qd3EBlclmsfwthrA4OACePZ3C Va4ZVZbdCFF847ktU8QYOYI= =18eW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
