Small space between full block characters depending on font size

Open arnomoonens opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

There is either some vertical space, horizontal space, both or none at all between full block characters, depending on the font size. size 12: afbeelding size 11: afbeelding

Only when using size 12.5 (in Konsole) there is no space between the full block characters. I built from the dev branch (commit db2d3feb7).

Thanks for the report and apologies for the troubles Arno. Cool views :)

Trying to align glyphs perfectly is fraught with issues on a single platform and becomes a real headache when you try to address spacing in a cross-platform/cross-application manner. We ran into this problem with the Powerline glyphs. We nudged until we got it right on one platform and this caused problems on others...

Do you mind linking the Unicode code points or copy/paste the glyphs that you are using in those views? Happy to take a look to see where we are with the spacing.

Hello Chris, Thank you for the response! The block █ is the Full Block character (Unicode U+2588). It was printed using Neofetch. You can find the source for the Manjaro logo here.
