Subject: bug#3975: 23.1; [PATCH] Line height too small with Monaco font on Mac OS X
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:57:49 +0100

I have done some investigating into this bug and found a fix.  The  
problem was being caused by [sfont descender] returning -2.5, which  
was being rounded to -2 by the lrint on line 807 of nsfont.c:
      -lrint (hshrink* [sfont descender] - expand*hd/2);

The following patch fixes the problem:

     font->average_width = lrint (font_info->width);

The second hunk does not actually seem to be necessary, but I added it  
for consistency.

I think that this patch may also fix bug 3961 (Incorrect font height  
on Mac OS X).
