(using Monospace font (DejaVu Sans Mono, I guess))

0x2025 TWO DOT LEADER '‥'
is in the middle (should be lying on the bottom), sticks out on the right side

0x291e RIGHTWARDS ARROW TO BLACK DIAMOND '⤞'
sticks out on the right side (wider than it should be)

0x226b MUCH GREATER-THAN '≫'
is just to big, sticks out on the right side

check the screenshot

Reassigning to pango.
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-05-18 19:03:52 UTC 
DejaVuSansMono doesn't cover those characters, so you get it from another font.  Expected behavior as far as Pango's concerned.  Please file with DejaVu fonts.
Comment 4 Ondra Pelech 2011-05-18 19:41:24 UTC 
any idea which font is that (since you say DejaVuSansMono doesn't cover those)?
I'm using fedora 13
thanks
Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-05-18 20:04:32 UTC 
Don't know.  You can figure out by running 'pmap' on the process and grep'ing for "fonts".
Comment 6 Ondra Pelech 2011-05-18 21:18:32 UTC 
that helped. most likely it's VL Gothic Regular.

so where should I file bugs to get this solved?
Gedit for using bad font?
DejaVu for not providing glyphs?
VL Gothic bugzilla for providing badly proportionate glyphs?
Fedora since it's my distribution?
Comment 7 Behdad Esfahbod 2011-05-18 21:36:25 UTC 
Please report to DejaVu.  It's on freedesktop bugzilla.
Comment 8 Ondra Pelech 2011-05-18 22:23:20 UTC
