Hello,

Tab is not a printable character.

I think you have to scan each string you want to display in order to replace each encountered tab with a certain number of spaces.

Hello.

I'm using XftDrawStringUtf8() function to display text. But this
function for some reason displays tabs as squares, instead of drawing
them the usual way (as spacing), which is what I want.

Any way to get Xft to draw them like spacing (ideally, as 4 or 8 space
characters)?
