Review request for KDE Frameworks and Konsole.


Changes
-------

Use 'if' again (instead of ternary operator).


Bugs: 371687
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371687


Repository: konsole


Description
-------

When Konsole draws a line of text, it first computes the rectangle of the line that \
the text covers (taking into account cells width and height), then passes this \
rectangle to the drawText(QRect, flags, text) call.

Qt detects if the selected font does not offer all characters in the text, and \
substitutes individual characters with a different font. Due to designer choices, the \
same font point size does not lead to same pixel height (or ascent size) in all \
fonts, so the substituted characters might be larger than the characters from the \
primary font.

Using a rectangle causes Qt to position glyphs relative to the bounding box of the \
text, instead of anchored to the baseline.

This patch uses a pixel position instead of a rectangle to draw the text, taking into \
account only the baseline of the primary font.

I have added all "frameworks" developers to increase possible test coverage.


Diffs (updated)
-----

  src/TerminalDisplay.cpp 39a8b84 

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/129281/diff/


Testing
-------

On my system, lines with substituted Unicode characters are no longer shifted away \
from the baseline, and therefore do not appear cropped.

Further testing is needed, as there are many (equivalent, similar, or different) bug \
reports about font rendering on different systems, see \
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&component=font&product=konsole



Thanks,

Christoph Feck
