Line numbers do not fit when the text is scaled up

[d-g]

Steps to reproduce:

• M-x load-theme RET solarized-light
• M-x linum-mode
• C-x C-=

Result:

There is no problem with no theme loaded, of course.

GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.25), solarized-theme 20160515.442

I'm seeing this too. Is it possible to specify that the face used for line numbers be of fixed width and the height used by non-section headings?

Hmm. I'm not seeing this..

I'm compiling from the emacs25 branch daily (GNU Emacs 25.0.95.28 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.18.9) of 2016-07-19).. The main difference there seems to be gtk3, I don't know if that makes any difference for this issue. Maybe it's the difference in font settings which causes the problems, idk.

It also works for me if I set default and fixed-pitch to "Pragmata Pro-13" and variable-pitch to "Pt Sans-13"

To be more specfic, running my-set-fonts with either one of these works (I tried a couple of alternatives):

      (setq my-monospaced-font "Pragmata Pro-13"
            my-variable-pitch-font "Pt Sans-13")

      (setq my-monospaced-font "Consolas-13"
            my-variable-pitch-font "Pt Sans-13")

      (setq my-monospaced-font "Pragmata Pro-15"
            my-variable-pitch-font "Pt Sans-15")

    (defun my-set-fonts  ()
      (interactive)
      (when window-system
        (condition-case nil
            (progn
              (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font my-monospaced-font)
              (set-face-attribute 'fixed-pitch nil :font my-monospaced-font)
              (set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :font my-variable-pitch-font))
          (error
           (progn
             (message
              "Setting default fonts failed, running dynamic-fonts-setup...")
             (dynamic-fonts-setup))))))

@thomasf I believe these are the only customisations I'm doing to my faces.

[kshenoy]

Ok, I haven't been able to root cause the issue but I think I've found a workaround for it.

(set-face-attribute 'fixed-pitch nil :font my-monospaced-font)
(set-face-attribute 'linum       nil :inherit 'fixed-pitch)

This is not a solarized issue since solarized seems to be setting only the :foreground and :background attributes for 'linum

My guess is that 'linum grabs the attributes from the text on that line. Which may be why @d-g was seeing this only when a theme is loaded.

Does not seem to be a local issue, closing.
