[Mlterm-dev-en] A minor problem with mlterm on the ipaq with big5.

[Pigeon <pi...@pi...>]

Hi.

	I have this tiny problem with chinese big5. With the same big5 font and iso8859-1 fonts, on the desktop it works perfectly. However when I'm running on my ipaq, the width seems to be wrong.

	My ~/.mlterm/font on both systems:

ISO8859_1 = 12,6x13;
BIG5 = 12,big5-12;13,big5-13;
JISX0208_1983 = 10,knj10;

	big5-12 is basically an X bdf font: "-big5-font-medium-r-normal--12-120-100-100-c-120-big5-0"

	And then I run this very same command on both systems:

	mlterm -E big5 -w 12 --fg=white --bg=black


	However I got different results, screenshots:

	As you can see the difference. The gap between characters are different. And I'll take the desktop one is the proper one. Would mlterm be looking for some other stuffs on the system? I've done an strace and couldn't see a clue yet.

	I've also tested these same fonts with crxvt (chinese rxvt), and it worked fine on my ipaq:

	So I'll take that chinese fonts is alright.

	I've also tested with a width 10 Japanese fonts on both desktop and the ipaq, and they both worked fine.
	
	Any idea? Thanks.
