bug#18293: Emacs ignores the ":aspect=N" specification of xft fonts


From: Stefan Monnier
Subject: bug#18293: Emacs ignores the ":aspect=N" specification of xft fonts
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 23:01:39 -0400

Package: Emacs
Version: 24.4.50


Try:

   % xterm -fa 'DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10'
   % xterm -fa 'DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10:aspect=0.5'

See how ":aspect=0.5" changes the aspect ratio of characters.

and then compare:

   % emacs -Q -fn 'DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10'
   % emacs -Q -fn 'DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10:aspect=0.5'

and notice how Emacs does not honor the ":aspect=0.5" specification.

In my particular use-case (which is probably not that uncommon in
Emacs's mostly monospaced world), an even better feature would be to be
able to say "choose `size' and `aspect' such that it uses the same
number of pixels vertically and horizontally as the default face".
