Re: Character shifting with cairo

[Eric Wasylishen]

Hi Riccardo,
I suspect this is the same problem that we discussed in the "Fonts displaying 
strangely…" thread:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2011-10/msg00207.html

Try the patch I posted there and see if the spacing problems go away.

The solution is to finish and apply that patch, addressing the concerns Fred 
mentioned (and ideally moving the opal font code to the cairo backend, too.)
