Re: [Bug: 21.5-b24] With Xft enabled, tabs are misrendered

I'm trying to use 21.5-b24 on an x86_64 Linux box running FC4. I compiled with Xft enabled, but tabs are quite screwy, so code that contains tabs looks terrible. As per usual on a Unix box, I expect them to be 8 spaces wide with a monospace font. Here is an illustration of where my tab stops show up. The first line below shows counters. The second shows where each tab is. The last uses spaces to illustrate where the tabs are actually displayed. The correspondence is not accurate, as XEmacs is losing less than one space-size per tab stop. 1234567812345678123456781234567812345678123456781234567812 c c c c c c c c | | | | | | | | Another manifestation of this problem is that when I resize my window, it is reported as containing quite a few more columns than it actually has. In other words, when X thinks I have 80 columns, I have more like 70.
