Bug Description
[Impact]
* Using monospace fonts, some parts of the glyphs might not be visible
(this is especially evident using some monospsace fonts, there the
underscore is not visible).
* This came due to a change in behaviour in Pango 1.44.
* The fix makes use of a newer API for Pango>=1.44 that address this
issue.
[Test Plan]
Select Monospace 9 font in appearance settings of hexchat.
Write something containing '_' in an irc channel.
Check, if the '_' is visible in the feed.
[Where problems could occur]
* Messing this patch up means text wouldn't appear in the textbox
anymore. so…
[Other Info]
* None here.
[ Original report ]
If I have Monospace 9 (default?) as the font in HexChat settings I can not see underscore character '_' in the feed, but if I set it Monospace 10 and set Custom DPI setting in Xfce's Appearance dialog to 94 or smaller, I see the character.
