GTK demo "UI Manager" with a cutted "W" on win32 (8.74 KB, image/png)
2007-07-27 15:09 UTC, Bjoern Voigt 		Details

Description Bjoern Voigt 2007-07-27 15:05:08 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In GTK+ main menus some letters (like "W") are not correctly displayed on Win32 (tested with Windows XP SP2 and GTK+ 2.10.7).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download GTK+ for Win32 (tested with http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pidgin/gtk-dev-2.6.10-rev-a.tar.gz?download)
2. Change the string "_Preferences" to something starting with "W" (e.g. "_Wwwwwwwwwww"). This could be done with a hex editor or within the source code (see attached patch)
3. Start the modified gtk-demo.exe on Win32


Actual results:
The first "W" is cutted left (see screenshot)

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes

And in any case 2.6.10 is an old and unmaintained version of GTK+.
Comment 4 Bjoern Voigt 2007-07-27 22:50:03 UTC 
Why 2.6.10? I tested with 2.10.7.
Comment 5 Tor Lillqvist 2007-07-27 22:55:07 UTC 
Your original text mentions gtk-dev-2.6.10-rev-a.tar.gz.
Comment 6 Bjoern Voigt 2007-07-27 23:30:46 UTC 
Sorry for the confusion. Initially I found this problem in Pidgin (the German translation has a clipped "W" for "Werkzeuge" in the main menu). The Pidgin 2.0.2 installer uses GTK+ 2.10.7 but the win32 build instructions (http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/BuildingWinPidgin) mention GTK+ 2.6.10. 

I used gtk-demo.exe because I wanted to find out if it's a Pidgin or a GTK+ problem. I found the problem both in Pidgin 2.0.2 with GTK+ 2.10.7 and in GTK-DEMO (GTK+ 2.6.10).

To see, if the problem still persists in GTK+ 2.10.13 (the newest download from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html) I deinstalled GTK+ 2.10.7 and installed GTK+ 2.10.13.

The letter "W" is displayed correctly in GTK demo with GTK+ 2.10.13. But probably this package uses another theme (font) than the GTK+ 2.6.10 theme (see screenshots on #383558). The problem could really be caused from specific fonts like #383558#c6 says.
