Description Unknown 2002-03-29 13:10:52 UTC 
I'am using 641D on a SuSE 7.3 with KDE 2.x.
Working with any docuument works without problems, when I do not use Type1 fonts.
As soon as I try to format some characters using Type1 fonts the height of the
line is changed to use a whole page.
Please look at the screenshots:
1. document with 1 page containing 5 lines with some text
2. I selected the third line an gave it the font BauhausITC -> I have now three
pages. The first with 2 lines the second with only one line and the third with
again 2 lines.

Perhaps I have the solution for this problem. 
 
On my machine I had the same problem and after some searching and 
fiddling I found that the Type1-AFMs generation is broken. 
 
E.g. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/putb.afm starts 
 
StartFontMetrics 2.0 
Comment kfontinst iso8859-15 
FontName Utopia-Bold 
FullName Utopia Bold 
FamilyName Utopia 
Weight Bold 
Notice Created with kfontinst v0.11 
ItalicAngle 0 
IsFixedPitch false 
UnderlinePosition -100 
UnderlineThickness 50 
Version 001.00 
EncodingScheme FontSpecific 
FontBBox -10158080 -16384000 81854464 60030976 
Descender -250 
Ascender 916 
StartCharMetrics 228 
 
Note the FontBBox above which should read as 
 
FontBBox -155 -250 1249 916 
 
or something similar. 
 
Ah yes, the AFMs were generated by kcmfontinst from kde3(.01).  
Probably the same will appear with kfontinst. 
 
So, if you (Zlatko) try to create your Type1-AFMs with e.g. type1afm 
(from t1lib) your problem will also disappear?

us->Zlatko: broken AFMs?

Tried it again with SuSE 8.1 and it worked
