Using other than the default font would disorder the text spacing in Terminal

[kutspam@…]

For revision of may 9th I changed fonts in the terminal (for checking if special Czech characters / glyphs which were missing in the other fonts as well) and by this the space between characters was wider and some additional tabs were rendered. Bluntly said; a mess were I couldn't tell were the end of the line was because when I would backspace it would delete more than I wanted to. Sort-of don't know where the cursor is.

It appears this has to do with the weird size error, therefor this maybe should be a duplicate bug. Couldn't reproduce it.

Works well using KonatuTT (monospaced?) while it does not using any other font, beside Vera mono.

The problem are monospaced fonts vs. non-monospaced fonts. Apparently, the app_server cannot yet use any font as monospaced font.

I must say that even when using default font settings, font in terminal could disorder the text spacing sometimes...

Move to the proper component

There was a bug a while ago where font flags had not been transmitted correctly from or to the app_server, and it affected fixed width fonts too. Maybe this bug here has been fixed by my fix then? Could someone please confirm?

No, this is a problem in terminal. For how it's written, Terminal can only used monospaced fonts. For the time being Terminal only let you select such fonts.
