Hi,
I would like to use a bar cursor, instead of a block cursor.
(setq default-frame-alist '((cursor-type . (bar . 2))))
The problem is, that the bar cursor is drawn like a block cursor, only
using a smaller width. To really be usable, the bar cursor should be
drawn *between* the characters, e.g. shifting it width/2 pixels to the left.
On the attached Emacs.png the 'u' is partially hiden by the bar-cursor.
It is even worse when the cursor is placed at the 'i', in which case
the letter is hidden completely. The attachment SciTE.png shows a
screenshot of the OpenSource Scintilla text editing widget, which shifts
a 2 pixel wide bar-cursor one pixel to the left.
Kind regards,
Markus
