The following rendering issues happen. The text disappears whilst entering it and reappears again when entering a new character. But mostly it seems the end of the string is incorrectly rendered where the last character is not completely displayed. I am on FreeBSD 10.1 p12 with the following package versions: slim-1.3.6_9 xorg-7.7_2 xorg-server-1.14.7_5,1 libXft-2.3.2_1 ( I put this in because it looks like slim uses a function call in this lib to draw the text) I have tried to specify different fonts in the theme but it makes no difference. Side note: It seems that slim is no longer maintained :(. Can you suggest any way for me to get closer to the cause of this problem. Any help will be appreciated. Riaan
