Update to v2.221 breaks font width in xterm

[cglogic]

After update to v2.221 glyphs are wider and not centered. Also before fc-list shows JetBrainsMono as monospace, but not after update.

fc-list :scalable=true:spacing=mono: | grep jet shows 28 lines with v2.210 and no one with v2.221.

Hi @cglogic Please attach screenshots with both samples.

v2.210:

v2.221:

And as I mentioned before, after update font isn't recognized as monospace.

Yes, looks like adding this symbols broke the "monospaceness" #255
it's not very smart on the xterm side, because they are modular to mono width. But we will think of some solution.
For now the workarounds are:

• Rollback to 2.210
• Remove manually ⟵(uni27F5) ⟷(uni27F7) ⟶(uni27F6) from .ttf files by some opensource editor like https://fontforge.org/en-US/

Ok, I switched to previous version. Thanks!

I experience a similar problem. I have some colored status output of which I calculate the width of the text (string) in pixels using Xft. With v2.221 this length is wrong. It appears that the advance width has doubled for characters?

I'll rollback to v2.210 for now.
