Hi all, I'm having an issue with foot persistently warning that my font is not monospace, even though it is. Characters are also rendered very spread out. I have tried a variety of monospace fonts, and the issue persists.
<taylor85345>
I'm running a relatively fresh Garuda install, and of the three systems I have foot installed on, this is the only one presenting this issue
<taylor85345>
I currently have it configured with "DejaVu Sans Mono"
<manio>
taylor85345: you can check and compare the console log - if it differ for selected font on all your systems...
<manio>
that way you can see if the font is indeed the same on all systems
<manio>
of course I assume you have same config on those...
<taylor85345>
my other running system has the font just set as "monospace" in my config. This was also the default on this system as well, and was presenting the issue.
<taylor85345>
I should have gotten on earlier...I've run out of time tonight. Will try again later and so some comparisons...

"monospace" isn't a specific font, and may resolve to a non-monospace font. Foot's stdout will show which font that actually got loaded

uh, oh. foot 1.10.1 just crashed on me
<hexa->
#0 0x0000000000429402 in set_pivot_point_for_block_and_char_wise.lto_priv ()
<hexa->
#1 0x00000000004295e8 in selection_update ()
<hexa->
no symbols, no further usable stack trace
<hexa->
if it happens again I'll try and rebuild with debug symbols
<dnkl>
hexa-: thanks, please do!
<dnkl>
hexa-: you were doing a mouse selection?
<hexa->
using sway, I was switching to the desktop with the terminal in question
<hexa->
I can't exactly remember, I'm on a laptop, so my touchpad may have done any kind of silly things
<dnkl>
hexa-: I took a quick look, and one thing I found was that foot wouldn't "finalize" (stop) an ongoing selection on point leave events
<dnkl>
So, if you switched workspace *away* from foot
<dnkl>
While doing a mouse selection
<dnkl>
And then switched back
<dnkl>
Foot would try to continue your previous mouse selection
<dnkl>
I wouldn't bet any money on that this is what happened in your case, but it's at least something
