--- Comment #17 from Ed Sternin <ed.sternin at brocku.ca>  2010-02-01 10:35:43 ---
I'd like to add my $0.02.

Running under wine-1.1.26/SUSE 11.1/kernel 2.6.27.42-0.1-pae

First of all I disagree with the designation of "minor".  This "UI issue" is so
severe that it makes the program unusable: it affects all of the control and
measurement devices in the program.  So giving the program a "Gold" rating
despite that seems not right.

The strings are set and modified correctly (by pressing up/down arrow I can
change from "1 V/Div" to "500 mV/Div", as revealed by the copy-and-paste
trick).  They are not rendered correctly.

I attach three images for reference: a correctly rendered instrument from a
Windows box; and two incorrectly rendered ones, for "1 V/Div" and "500 mV/Div".
While "1 V/Div" is sort of legible, the first characters are not just
compressed horizontally, they appear to be missing. I wonder if "--len" in the
fix is responsible for that.  The strings are variable in length, so if edit.c
is only called during the creation of the window, does it still use the right
string length later, when the string is modified?

Due to the age of the program, it uses its own .FON file.  I wonder if an
incorrect font metric format is responsible for the string rendering problems,
rather than anything in the edit.c.  I attach the .FON file for reference; I am
not sure how to run Nicolay's test against this font, perhaps someone can?
