[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#479673: Info received (ttf-freefont: Extra space between lines in 20080323-3)

[Steve White]

The release of FreeFont dated 20080912
    http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/freefont/
goes a long way to solving line spacing problems that arose over the years.

The biggest change is in FreeMono.  It has been demonstrated that in a
properly-invoked xterm, graphic objects that are meant to connect in
adjacent lines, now in fact connect.  See
   http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freefont-bugs/2008-09/msg00000.html
A proper invocation would be
   $ xterm -fa FreeMono-9:minspace=true

Cheers!
