[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#870863: closed by Gürkan Myczko <gurkan at phys.ethz.ch> (wrong size in terminal of letter m)

[Sam Dukhovni]

I'm still seeing this issue in urxvt (reproduce with
`urxvt -fn "xft:M+ 2m"`), and the character width data shown in
`xfd -fa "M+ 2m"` is still incorrect as I described
in my original report.  You're right that gnome-terminal doesn't
seem to have the issue; presumably it's ignoring the incorrect widths.

Also, the subject line of your reply is wrong; the letter 'm' is fine,
it's the letters 'B', 'D', 'P', 'R', and 'y' that have incorrect
character width data and aren't displayed correctly in the font
"M+ 2m".
