Hello,
Just curious for anyone who's using gnumeric in Redhat 8.0. I tried to install
RH 8.0, and gnumeric that ship with it has a problem that it displays
monospacing font, even for font like Helvetica (which is the default), and
the spacing between characters are large. So eg., instead of displaying
"abcdefg"
it will display something like
"a b c d e f g"
Using Courier makes the problem worst. The same problem happens with AbiWord
by the way. Anyone else experience this? This seems like RH problem rather
than gnumeric, but I am just curious.
My first suspicion would be freetype. We've had several reports of
crashing from RH8 systems when people print. The version of
freetype shipping with rh8 (2.1.2) is known to be borked. RH tried
to patch it, but appears to have missed a few things. My suggestion
would be to look for an update to freetype, or downgrade to 2.1.1
Good Luck
