Applied patch from STR#2115.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This fix to fl_height(int,int) solves the "digital drit"
problem in Fl_Text_Editor, where doing insert/delete 
operations was leaving a trail of dead pixels. 

Also fixes problem with font display problem in fluid's
code editor. See the STR for screenshots of the problem.

NOTE: THIS IS A WORKAROUND FOR A DEEPER PROBLEM.
Somewhere during the port of UTF8, the actual pixel size
of the displayed font is a little off, causing FLTK to
miscalculate line height, causing 'digital drit'.

It used to be that when you specified a font size,
the font's actual displayed pixel size matched the
font size value.

This fix makes the fl_height(int,int) function more robust,
actually inquiring the font system for its font size, instead
of assuming the font size is the same as the 'size' argument.

Since Fl_Text_Editor makes use of this function, it helps
that widget calculate font sizes correctly.

The real fix will be restoring FLTK's old behavior where the 
font size specified is the actual pixel size of the displayed font.
Then this function can be reverted to just returning the 'size' argument.

This function returns the actual height of the specified \p font

that seem to only be solved by asking the font what its actual
font height is. (See STR#2115)

only by Fl_Text_Display. We're now documenting it in 1.3.x so that
apps that need precise height info can get it with this function.
