Perhaps the installation of enlightenment DR17 caused the trouble?

I don't think so because e17 does not have any relationship with gtk libraries. It does not even read properties from it, like Chameleon does, it has its own theming engine.

But the e17 engine does use freetype2 (AFAIK) like gtk does... Where do you take the font properties from ? GTK or freetype?




Well, this bug seems like mismatch between Xft and FontConfig/Freetype.

We take basic system font from GTK. Anyway, even if that would be wrong, it should not manifest as what I have seen in screenshots - just the font would be different.

What I see is that Xft uses different metrics to place characters than what we have read from Freetype. Which is strange, because after all, Xft is using Fc/Freetype as well.

One possible cause is that we somehow request different fonts from Xft and Freetype.
