Hello,
I'm not sure if this is a bug in XFree. In my data plotting library
DISLIN, I'm drawing rotated characters of an X11 font with a rotation
matrix specified in the pixelsize field of an XLFD font. This is
working on many UNIX and Linux systems, but there seems to be
problems now on some RedHat 9 systems with LCD or TFT screens. The
escapment of characters is not correctly returned in the attributes
field in the per-character XCharStruct metrics, the position of
rotated characters seems to be wrong, and for example: characters of
a font with the rotation matrix [-20 0 0 -20] are plotted with the angle
0 instead of 180 degrees.
I could reproduce this phenomenon on the following system:
System: RedHat 9, XFree86-4.3.0-2
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX, Driver: nv
Terminal: Dell 1900FP
Was there a corresponding bug report for XFree that I have overseen?
Best Regards,
