Monospaced fonts are not recognized as such (2016-03-06 14:54 by fauno #77764)

Hi, I'm trying to use the monospaced fonts but some programs complain they're not monospace, maybe something's missing from the font metadata?

Thanks for your work!

Hi, fauno. Thanks for reporting :) Could you tell me what apps and environment complain so? Such information is very useful to address the issue.

I'm trying to use it on neovim-qt and st (the suckless terminal emulator).

This is what I get:

If I test it on gvim and urxvt:

I read on the mplus comments for Archlinux that another person couldn't use them on KDE applications: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-mplus/

I've surveyed the apps you've mentioned.

Monospace fonts in M+ is technically "dual-width" fonts because they have CJK ideographs, which are double-wide characters, and there are apps not supporting them. st uses max_advance_width to determine the advance width, so the width is doubled. neovim-qt uses QFontInfo.fixedPitch() to reject non-monospace fonts, so M+ 1m is rejected.

The issue is common among monospace fonts including CJK characters, so please contact app developers and request to support "dual-width" fonts.

Cheers,
Ryusei

Following M+ FONTS are not included CJK glyphs.
