bug#68157: 30.0.50; Size of selected font is wrong

[Arash Esbati]

Hi all,

I didn't bisect this, but when I select another font than the standard
one, the size is wrong.  To reproduce:

  • emacs -Q
  • In scratch, enter 'o', put point on it and enter 'C-u C-x ='.  I see
      mac-ct:-*-Menlo-regular-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x52)
  • Now choose a new font from 'Options -> Set Default Font', I took
    'Source Code Pro' at 11pt.  Going back to 'o', I now get:
      mac-ct:-*-Menlo-regular-normal-normal-*-22-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x52)
  • Choose another font, I took 'Courier New' at 10pt, I get:
      mac-ct:-*-Courier New-regular-normal-normal-*-20-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x52)

Can others reproduce this?  I didn't have any issues like this until
now.  This means that my setting:

  (custom-set-faces
   '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro" :foundry "nil"
                  :slant normal :weight medium :height 110 :width normal)))))

works no more.

Best, Arash

Could you please explain how the size is wrong?
What do you expect and what happens?

Also, does `C-x C-M-0 +' work?

The size of the font selected is way too large:

  • I select 'Source Code Pro' at 11pt and get 22pt[1]:
      mac-ct:-*-Source Code Pro-regular-normal-normal-*-22-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x01)
  • I select 'Courier New' at 10pt and get 20pt:
      mac-ct:-*-Courier New-regular-normal-normal-*-20-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x52)

I had this in my custom file:

  (custom-set-faces
   '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro" :foundry "nil" :slant normal
                  :weight medium :height 110 :width normal))))

which now gives a huge font.  I had to turn it into:

  (custom-set-faces
   '(default ((t (:family "Source Code Pro" :foundry "nil" :slant normal
                  :weight medium :height 55 :width normal))))

in order to get back to normal state with:

  mac-ct:-*-Source Code Pro-medium-normal-normal-*-11-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x29)

> Also, does `C-x C-M-0 +' work?

Yes, but the baseline is the large font size as described above.

If this commit produced a change in the values of resx and resy, it is
the likely culprit.  On window systems which scale graphics operations
to match the display density, resx and resy should NOT be set to that
density, but rather the density the window system expects graphics
operations to be issued while assuming.

It didn't in my testing.

Thanks. I've reverted the change on master now and am closing the bug
report.
