RE: ANNOUNCE: Tk-804.027-p3.patch.gz

Congratulations Slaven, the new p4 patch fixes all my segfaults
on Solaris 8 / gcc-4.0.3 / perl-5.8.8 / fontconfig-2.4.1!

Just two errors in the t/font.t test:

ok 20 - Expected -descent value
not ok 21 - Expected -ascent value
#   Failed test 'Expected -ascent value'
#   at t/font.t line 139.
#          got: '18'
#     expected: '16'
ok 22 - Expected -size value
not ok 23 - Expected -linespace value
#   Failed test 'Expected -linespace value'
#   at t/font.t line 139.
#          got: '23'
#     expected: '21'
ok 24 - Core dump check (especially for XFT)

Let me know if you need additional info on this...

Cheers,

Marek

It seems that I was wrong. With a newer version of tkUnixRFont.c (the
tkUnixXft.c variant in Tcl/Tk) the problem goes away.

A new patch will follow.
