#1171 Indicators clipped for small fonts
The squiggle indicator is clipped at the buttom when using Verdana 8pt, and that makes it almost invisible.
The attached code fragment draws another squiggle pattern which (1) is not clipped at 8pt because it only goes 1 pixel below the line, furthermore (2) it also looks better in any case (this is of course subjective).
I have also tried using smoothing/anti-aliasing (by drawing with GDI+) but the result wasn't much better. And I am not sure how that should be supported in GTK+.
To be really good indicators should follow font size and zoom factor. Such that the lines become thicker and the pattern wider and higher with increasing font size. But that would probably require anti-aliasing.

Alternative SQUIGGLE_INDIC pattern
To me it looks worse when there is room for all 3 pixels of the normal squiggle. It could go in under a different name.
Fine with me. What about SQUIGGLE_LOW_INDIC?
The name should of course match the other ones. So INDIC_SQUIGGLE_LOW will be more suitable.
INDIC_SQUIGGLE_LOW sounds OK.
Updated Indicator.cxx
Excellent, I have uploaded my modified Indicator.cxx (if you need it)
Committed with name changed to INDIC_SQUIGGLELOW to match other indicators.
