GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 89048
Text is too close to widget edge
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
It appears that vte does not insert any padding whatsoever when drawing text, when I do a cvs update and have 'M's on the left column the left side of the M is flush with the window edge, which looks a bit ugly. libzvt looked like it inserted a few pixels of padding which makes it easier to read.
I'm pretty sure this is a font issue. I'm using "fixed 16" here and there's a pixel between the 'M' and the left border. Which font are you using?
I'm using Lucida Console.
Fixed in CVS profterm and vte (one-pixel padding added).
