Hello List, Failing to solve following problem, I would be glad for any hints how to continue testing/debugging:
When setting default font on fvwm2.6.7 to value -*-*-*-undef-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* this will result in some errors in .xsession-errors, e.g. [fvwm][FlocaleLoadFont]: WARNING -- can't load font '-*-*-*-undef-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*', trying default: -*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* but the whole design will look nice. This seems to be due to fvwm using some kind of X-server default font and applying appropriate spacing. When explicitely setting the default font in "config" to the font mentioned in .xsession-errors to be used instead of the non-existing "undef" font, -*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-* as default font, everything looks different: still all pixels of printed text match when overlaying e.g. screenshots of buttons before and after the change, but the vertical spacing is different. For "MenuStyle" this can be fixed with VerticalItemSpacing 3 1, VerticalTitleSpacing 3 1 , for title bars with TitleStyle LeftJustified Height 20 BUT how to make vertical spacing identical for iconified windows, when only window text is displayed in (too) small button with no static or icon attached? Should those differences be corrected by setting more spacing properties or instead by getting the initial default font problem right? Thanks for any advice, hd
