Since print/freetype2 was updated to version 2.8 in June it has had an annoying bug that caused lines to be spaced slightly too far apart for some fonts, notably Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Roman, AKA "fixed". This caused terminal windows to not line up correctly. Thanks to some hard work by lightside a patch was developed that corrected the problem. It has now been pretty thoroughly tested for several months and was submitted for maintainer approval back in late July. Several requests for maintainer approval have been sent to gnome@, with no response. Could a committer look at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=219608 and commit it. Most people who have hit this have probably never noticed it and those who have probably didn't care enough to report it. I believe lightside has submitted to fix upstream where the problem was already reported but I have no idea when they will have a new release. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
