This makes virtually impossible copying a separator inset whithout
also copying the end of paragraph. These insets are not supposed to
be directly inserted by users. For example, the parbreak version
represents a LaTeX paragraph break, not a LyX one. So, if it is
possible to copy and paste it by alone, an unsespecting user may be
surprised to see a paragraph break in the output but not on the LyX
screen (because of the lack of indentation, for example).
In this way, it also becomes a LyX par break from a user point of
view, not any more useful than simply introducing a par break by
hitting <return> (except in those cases where it makes a difference,
in which case they are automatically inserted by LyX).
Empty selections can cause confusing behavior for a few reasons:
(1) some functions behave differently depending on whether there is a
selection. If I press delete, nothing happens (where I expect the
character or inset before the cusor to be deleted). If I toggle bold or
emphasize nothing happens (where if there is no selection the entire
word is toggled). There are other LyX functions that depend on whether
there is a selection or not. Further, I wonder if any part of LyX's code
assumes that if there is a selection it is non-empty.
(2) menu options are incorrectly set. For example, the scissors icon.
For remaining empty selection issues, see #9222.

This branch implements string-wise metrics computation. The goal is to
have both good metrics computation (and font with proper kerning and
ligatures) and better performance than what we have with
force_paint_single_char. Moreover there has been some code
factorization in TextMetrics, where the same row-breaking algorithm
was basically implemented 3 times.
Globally, the new code is a bit shorter than the existing one, and it
is much cleaner. There is still a lot of potential for code removal,
especially in the RowPainter, which should be rewritten to use the new
Row information.
The bugs fixed and caused by this branch are tracked at ticket #9003:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9003
What is done:
* Make TextMetrics methods operate on Row objects: breakRow and
setRowHeight instead of rowBreakPoint and rowHeight.
* Change breakRow operation to operate at strings level to compute
metrics The list of elements is stored in the row object in visual
ordering, not logical. This will eventually allow to get rid of the
Bidi class.
* rename getColumnNearX to getPosNearX (and change code accordingly).
It does not make sense to return a position relative to the start of
row, since nobody needs this.
* Re-implement cursorX and getPosNearX using row elements.
* Get rid of lyxrc.force_paint_single_char. This was a workaround that
is not necessary anymore.
* Implement proper string metrics computation (with cache). Remove
useless workarounds which disable kerning and ligatures.
* Draw also RtL text string-wise. This speeds-up drawing.
* Do not cut strings at selection boundary in RowPainter. This avoids
ligature/kerning breaking in latin text, and bad rendering problems
in Arabic.
* Remove homebrew Arabic and Hebrew support from Encoding.cpp. We now
rely on Qt to do handle complex scripts.
* Get rid of LyXRC::rtl_support, which does not have a real use case.
* Fix display of [] and {} delimiters in Arabic scripts.
Actually the workaround that is used to show parenthesis in the right direction
is not needed any more, since this is part of the unicode bidi writing algorithm.
This fixes at the same time the use of [] or as delimiters in arabic, which was wrong on screen.
Note that there is a problem with hebrew, but this will require a fileformat change.
The use of RLO/LRO overrides to force text orientation was really hackish and the way it was done caused dropped letters in Mac OS X (for some unknown reasons).
This new approach is much cleaner, except that it relies on features not advertised in documentation
but present at least from Qt 4.5 to Qt 5.3:
* TextFlag enum values TextForceLeftToRight and TextForceRightToLeft, which are strong versions
of QPainter::setLayoutDirection; they are passed as a parameter of QPainter::drawText.
* QTextLayout::setFlags method, which is required to pass the above flags to QTextLayout.
The unicode override method is still used to draw strings Mac OS X because, for some reason, the direction was not really enforced in this case.
This can only be done where splitting of string is identical in row breaking and display. It will be possible to reintroduce this when row painting uses the tokenized row information.
The option --enable-qt5 allows configuring for Qt5. The default is Qt4.
Nothing special is done with respect to Qt4, apart from pulling in the
correct libraries. Indeed, other than the core and gui libraries, now
also the concurrent and widgets libraries are needed.
The conversion from floating point to string performed by
boost:lexical_cast does not allow specifying a precision and,
for example, values such as 0.9 are resturned as 0.899999976.
The standard C++ way for performing the conversion is using
std::ostringstream which is exempt from this problem, even if
less efficient. For the sake of accuracy, boost::lexical_cast
is ditched in favor of the ostrinsgstream implementation.
In C++11 another option would be using std::to_string, but I
think it is not as efficient as the boost way and not worth
implementing through #ifdef's.
Incidentally, this patch would have also fixed#9190 and all
similar cases involving the use of convert<string>(float|double).
When a font is scaled by a certain percentage in the document settings,
LyX was outputting a ridiculous parameter value. For example, if the
font is scaled 90%, the corresponding parameter was "scaled=0.899999976".
The patch avoids this and, in the previous case, one gets "scaled=0.9".
This is not only cosmetic, because in roundtrip conversions the parameter
would be continuosly changing.
This commit and b60b505f should be backported to the 2.1.x branch, where
reimporting with tex2lyx an exported document produces wrong results
(also in version 2.1.0).
This variable was introduced to guard against any bad consequence of the then-new right-to-left
languages support. Let's be bold and get rid of it altogether!
Now right to left support is always enabled.
This commits (tries to) reintroduce properly the code that was reverted at the beginning of this branch. This had to be done because these patches interefered with the big refactoring of TextMetrics.cpp.
This commit reintroduces the changes to TextMetrics.cpp contained in c668ebf6, c85dbfea9 and 061509bf.
This is handled by Qt now.
Note that a small optimization (do not draw text that is to the left
of WorkArea) is removed because it cannot be guaranteed to be exact
anymore. It was probably not very useful anyway, and would become
useless once the RowPainter is rewritten to use Row information.
Update 00README_STR_METRICS_BRANCH.
The display of partially-selected word is now done in a new Painter::text method
which displays the string twice with different clip settings. This allows to
catter for the case where Color_selectiontext is not black.
Morover, the code that uses unicode override characters to force the
direction of a string is moved to lstrings.h.
Fixes: #9116
Moreover, breaks row at insets when there is no suitable separator.
Also make the code of Row::shorten_if_needed somewhat simpler by using
iterators and factoring the code.
Fixes: #9120
The old implementation of Row::Element::pos2x and x2pos did not work
correctly with Arabic text, because characters can have shapes that
depend on context.
This new implementation leverages QTextLayout in a simplified way,
since only one word is added to the layout.
This allows to make Row::Element::x2pos more readable.
Fixes: #9115.
Do not cut strings at separators in RowPainter when text is not
justified. This speeds-up painting by reducing the number of strings
to draw.
Do also a modest cleanup of paintChar (remove dubious optimization).
Instead of relying on character range (Hebrew or Arabic) or character
direction, use RLO unicode character (Right-to-Left override) to force
painting in the direction indicated by the current font. This should
be as close as we can to the old LyX behavior (and requires less
code).
If this code works as intended, it will be possible to remove a lot of
code from Encodings.cpp.
We rely on Qt built-in unicode support for handling Arabic and Hebrew
compose characters. This allows to avoid to use our homegrown
machinery.
This should provide a nice speedup at a low cost and
will eventually allow us to get rid of:
* most of our Arabic/Hebrew machinery in Encodings.cpp,
* Paragraph::transformChar,
* and probably more.
All these problems are related to what happens at the extreme points of rows
* since VIRTUAL elements have a width but no contents, they have to
be treated specially at some places. It would have been better to
avoid testing for them explicitly, but I did not find a way.
* Improve and cleanup the code in breakRow and fix in passing a crash
when clicking on the right of an incomplete MARGIN_MANUAL
paragraph.
* improve the computation of row width in TextMetrics::computeRowMetrics.
* handle properly the case where a position if not found on the row
in both cursorX and getPosNearX (actually, this happens when
selecting).
* Some code cleanup and comments.
The fact that the bug was still present in the features/str-metrics
branch comes from a goof in the initial implementation of 'virtual'
row elements (completion and end-of-par markers). Now that this is
corrected, everything works as it should.
The fact that the bug is present in master is due to some other reason
that is not useful to investigate now.
build_script() was already threadsafe, since it used a TempFile, and the
counter was basically not needed, but the new solution makes this obvious
and has the additional advantage that TempFile constructs the real output
file, not a dummy without extension which is not needed.
It was broken in two ways: It was not threadsafe, and it did never detect
any recursion, since the counter was decremented for each non-recursive call
and never incremented again.
This is one of the more important threadsafety issues because of export in
thread and simultanous view source. The solution is ugly, but a better one
(see FIXME) would require major rework. These static variables should not
have been used in the first place IMHO.
Using a static variable here was premature optimization: fileNames() is only
called from GuiRef (directly or indirectly), and since this is a dialog the
copying of a FileNameList is not noticeable at all.
In this case I use a mutex, so the zip status of files is shared between
threads. This is possible because a deadlock can't happen, and it should give
better performance.
Don't create an intermediate copy (found by Jean-Marc).
I doubt that this has anything to do with the mystery crash, but it works, and
following the standard patterns is better anyway.
Without this, you get crashes in a few second when you set the autosave
interval to one second and edit quickly (typing new words etc). The reason
is that the cloned buffer wants to insert words into the word list and
remove them again, but it lives in a different thread.
The compiler-generated copy-constructor and assigment operators would be wrong
for IconvProcessor::Impl, since cd would be copied, and iconv_close() could
thus be called twice on the same descriptor. The old code did work, but now
IconvProcessor::Impl cannot be copied by accident in the future.
The IconvProcessor assignment operator did not delete pimpl_ and used a
non-standard signature. If you want to know why the standard signature is
important, read "Effective C++" by Scott Meyers.
The statement
if (pos < from + lyxrc.completion_minlength)
triggers a signed vs. unsigned warning. I don't know why this happens, it
could be a MSVC bug, or related to LLP64 (windows) vs. LP64 (unix)
programming model, or the C++ standard might be ambigous in the section
defining the "usual arithmetic conversions". However, using a temporary
variable is safe and works on all compilers.
* fix handling of boundary situations in Row::Elements::x2pos;
* fix handling of boundary situations in TextMetrics::getColumnNearX;
* make sure to always use Font::isVisibleRightToLeft instead of Font::isRightToLeft;
* Improve debug messages.
The horizontal position of the inset was not taken in account.
The rounding is not always the same as with the old code, but this
is not really important.
Additional changes:
* improve debug output of rows
* remove Bidi& argument of the RowPainter constructor, since it is always
an empty Bifi that is passed. This means that the Bidi class is not
used at all any more in TextMetrics.cpp. The only remaining user is
RowPainter.
Break words longer than the screen width. The code is more complicated
than I would like, but I have no better idea right now.
Implement properly the notion of a row broken by a display inset. This is useful in different places.
Also fix a bug with last line of a paragraph spotted by Kornel.
Use proper font everywhere for end-of-par marker
Fix getColumnNearX for RTL text and for centered/right-justified paragraphs.
Let computeRowMetrics update the row width.
* convert cursorX to new scheme; old computation is still there for the sake of comparison.
* use Row to compute separator width in computeRowMetrics; again, the old code is retained for now.
* Get rid of rowWidth()
* Row now contains a vector of Elements
* replace Row::dump by a proper << operator
* the width is updated as elements are added
* breakRow is reimplmented to use this infrastructure
Collect properly all strings to compute string metrics
Some changes with respect to existing code
- end of paragraph font is now the one of the text
- words longer than a line are not broken anymore. I think this is not useful if we have horizontal scrollbar
Other than that, the code is still compatible with rowWidth and friends.
The magic library can detect the charset used by a file. While this
detection is not full proof, actually the library seems to be infallible
as regards the binary nature of a file. So, use libmagic for the detection
and fallback to the previous method if the library is not installed or
its database cannot be loaded.
On startup, the default locale is "C", meaning that all system
functions assume an ascii codeset. The environment's locale
settings should be selected by calling setlocale(LC_ALL,"").
This is done by Qt during the QCoreApplication initialization
but this inizialization is never performed for batch processing
and, as a result, LyX is not able to process files whose names
contain non-ascii characters. This is not an issue on Windows,
where the file names are always stored as UTF-16, so the call is
only performed for unix-like platforms (this also includes cygwin,
due to its own filenames management that allows using characters
which are forbidden to native programs).
FileName::tempName() created a new temp file name by using qt to create a
temporary file with a unique name, and then deleting that file and returning
the name. This was unsafe, since other processes or even other threads of the
running LyX could create files with the same name between deletion and then
using the temp name.
This is fixed by using the TempFile class instead. As a side effect, a few
cases where the temp files were not deleted after usage were fixed as well.
The only place that is still unsafe is createTmpDir().
The compiler generated copy constructor and assignment operator are wrong.
This could easily be fixed by implementing them manually, but a) they are
not needed, and b) the semantics would be unclear (should the copy point
to a new temp file or not?), so it is better to forbid them.
- The TempFile class guarantees to generate a file name, we are not limited to
100 tries of a predictable scheme anymore, which could break if LyX
frequently crashes.
- The temp file name generation has no race condition against another LyX
instance in the same directory anymore.
- Symlinks survive saving again (regression of 10364082c8).
Thanks to maciejr we know now what the remaining problem was with bug 7954:
My unicode symbol fallback works fine, the problem was that a font named
"Symbol" is available on OS X, but it does not use the font-specific encoding
we expect: Almost all glyphs are at their unicode code point.
Therefore the bug is fixed by re-enabling the unicode workaround and blocking
the Symbol font on OS X.
Maximizing the document settings window when on the modules pane,
the horizontal space is now given to the module names and so no
scrollbar is needed. Before, even when maximized, a scrollbar was
sometimes needed because the horizontal space was given to the
buttons in the middle, which did not provide an extra benefit.
The default sizeType was "Expanding" and is now changed to "Minimum"
for the horizontal spacer above the middle buttons.
Now the cursor in LyX jumps to the right spot instead of simply the
beginning of the paragraph. This is most useful for branch insets,
for example, which may contain long paragraphs.
If the reverse position corresponds to an inset, its paragraph id
does not follow the main text numbering. Typically, an inset has
only a few paragraph, so that we would jump near the beginning of
the document. In this way we at least jump at the beginning of the
inset.
If LyX does not know about a given file format, it may easily
happen that the format is recognized as "latex" and this causes
bug #9146. This patch limits the check for a latex format to
non-binary files. The strategy for deciding that a file has
binary content is the same as that adopted by the "less" program.
The problem is the use of cursor movement methods to update cursor.
Cursor::forwardPos() steps into insets, which is not always what we
want. The problem here is that there is a math inset just after the
accepted change, and that the cursor steps into it for some reason.
This code is a nightmare anyway.
Fixes: bug #9145
This regression was introduced by me at 8b66f9ce. I did not take
into account that a call to a python script containing $$s is embedded
within a separate python script. Thus, when commandPrep() is called it
only sees the call to the outer python script, and does not see the
$$s contained in that python script. It therefore did not substitute
for it. This fix simply calls commandPrep() directly before writing
the embedded command.
The Adobe EPS file format specification (TN-5002, currently available at
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5002.EPSF_Spec.pdf) specifies
a binary version of EPS files with integrated preview, sometimes also called
DOS EPS binary files. LyX 2.0 did recognize these files unreliably by
extension, but since f4eae12d they are misdetected as latex (bug #9146).
This change adds proper detection for these files using the officially
documented binary header.
This is needed so that the new format number is actually used. Since the
conversion is a noop I did not update the layout files (more updates will
come).
Do not assert if an inset separator is the only item of a List
environment. Although it is a weird thing to do, both GUI and
latex output can deal with it.
This fixes a crash in examples/fa/splash.lyx when selecting text
representing menu entries. This happens because menu names are in LTR
English, while the inset itself is in RTL.
The problem is that the current code relies on the fact that
1. getColumnNearX and checkInsetHit share the same idea about cursor
position.
2. pos and pos + 1 are in general consecutive on screen.
It seems that 1. is wrong here (for reasons I did not try to
understand); the second assumption is definitely false with
bi-directional text. This makes editXY very fragile.
The new code should be more robust in this respect. The logic is:
* if checkInsetHit finds an inset, use its position,
* otherwise, ask getColumnNearX for the cursor position.
Fixes: #9142
When deciding whether a paragraph should be indented or not, LyX
only takes into account default layouts. This is wrong, because
an environment could be nested into another one and thus a following
paragraph would not be "default". With this patch all paragraphs
after an environment are correctly indented, independently of
whether their layouts are "default" or not.
The latex output (which was modeled following the previous wrong
assumption) is also correspondingly adapted.
This is mainly needed to reduce the amount of ERT if you convert AMS example
documents with tex2lyx. No GUI support is needed, since \notag is equivalent
to \nonumber.
This is a follow-up of bug #8967. The implementation is self-explaining, the
only part which needs a comment is lyx2lyx: Since a 100% correct solution is
not possible, it has been decided not to switch amsmath off in the forward
conversion if no other ams command than \smash[t] and \smash[b] is used, but
to consider it a bug that older versions do not load amsmath automatically for
these commands. In the backward direction it is easy to keep the document
compilable, so just do that.
The firs tinvolves a thinko in BibTeXInfo::expandFormat. We were previously
counting passes through this routine, which means: one for every character,
more or less. So long strings would hit the "recursion limit". But what
we are worried about is an infinite loop caused by misues of macros, so that
is what we need to count.
This prevents the error we were previously getting, but it reveals a huge
slowdown when one tries to open a citation inset with a large nubmer of keys.
So we also limit the number of keys we try to process, and the length of the
string we try to display, when we are generating citation information.
I'm convinced that there is a deeper problem in how citation information is
generated (see the bug tracker for more info), but that will require major
surgery and a file format change
If a new paragraph is created just before a nested environment,
the indentation of the nested environment is not computed
correctly because the parindent of the previous layout would
also be erroneously taken into account. This would cause the
nested environment to move back and forth when something is
added to the new paragraph.
Instead of simply taking into account the layout of the previous
paragraph, it is better considering the layout of the environment
in which the previous paragraph may be nested. This makes the test
simpler and, at the same time, more robust.
LyX fails to indent on screen a standard paragraph when it is
nested into an environment. The fix is a one-liner but the diff
is larger because it also fixes a previous wrong indentantion
in the source ;)
This is necessary, for example, if a standard paragraph is nested
in an environment and the environment does not end immediately after.
To be strictly correct, the layout of the following paragraph should
be compared to the layout of the nesting environment, otherwise, if
they are not the same, an empty line is nevertheless output. However,
this is harmless because an "\end{layout}" tag immediately follows.
I am not sure I fully understand the pending_newline/unskip_newline
logic (which seems mainly related to rtl writing), so I prefer to
leave it alone, in the sense that now things go again as in 2.1
until the point where those booleans are used for producing output.
If it turns out that a spurious (and unwanted) empty line comes
from the previous code, it can be easily corrected later.
I am also reintroducing the check about a separator inset at the end
of the paragraph, because that is necessary for the plain version.
This also changes the type of an int to an ssize_t.
nRead is initialized as an ssize_t because it could
be negative. It is cast to a size_t for comparison
to the size of a vector, but only after we check
that nRead is not negative.
This method is a proxy for LyXRC::preview that forces to forward
declare some wrapper around an enum...
Instead, two simple static methods previewMath() and previewText() are
introduced, that make the code much easier to follow.
The format entries should be sorted according to the culture selected for the
UI. This was not the case previously, resulting in unexpected sorting of small
and capital letters. This is now fixed by using the standard C function
strcoll(). Qt does only offer similar functionality in Qt5, and this is not
mature enough yet to depend on it.
Unfortunately we have a report that strcoll() does not work on MSVC, however
this partial fix is better than nothing. The MSVC issue might also be a
configuration problem, since MS claims that strcoll() is supported. This
still needs to be checked.
addPath() always adds a slash at the end, os got a double one before.
Qt and the OS are clever enough to understand that, but a single slash
looks more nice.
The real problem is the encoding of latex_language: It is hardcoded to latin1,
but InsetListig uses the currently active encoding. Therefore, we cannot tell
whether any given character wil be encodable or not, and we should not prevent
non-ACII characters.
In the future, we need to make the encoding of latex_language dynamic, so that
it always represents the currently active encoding. Then, we could do the
correct check both for listings and ERT. For now, I simply disabled the
encoding check for listings, which also means that bug 9012 might occur in
other cases for listings, but this is less important than bug 9102.
If a separator inset is used after an environment with NextNoIndent
set to false, a blank line was already output. So, avoid outputting
another blank line or an odd looking line with only a '%' character
(as the previous blank line provides already a visual separation).
Multirow cells now have the same alignment rendering in LyX
as in the output. The alignment of a multirow can change as
long as the column is not of fixed width. If the column is
of fixed width, the multirow is left-aligned.
When setting a multirow, the alignment is copied from
the last cell in the selection.
LyX assumes that a standard paragraph following an aligned one or
a layout with NextNoIndent==false has to be indented on screen.
This means that in the latex output a blank line has to follow.
In this case there should be no problem as regards extra vertical
space and it simpler and more elegant to simply uncheck "Indent
Paragraph" in the Paragraph settings pane rather than changing
the current logic and allowing to insert a parbreak separator.
If a layout has NextNoIndent set to true, the following paragraph
is not indented on screen. LyX checks the previous layout for that
style parameter to decide whether to indent or not. Of course,
what matters is the latex output and the on-screen representation
should match this output. Now, when a layout has NextNoIndent==true,
the latex output is correctly not indented, while the on-screen
representation may fail to match this output. This can occur when,
for example, a standard paragraph is nested in the previous layout,
because LyX would check the property of the nested layout instead
of the container layout. Thus, LyX should check the property of a
previous layout at the same depth for correctly deciding whether
a paragraph has to be indented or not.
See also http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9055#comment:12 for an
example document where the previous scenario actually occurs.
With the old code, the last word of a paragraph would not be added in
the completion list. The key difference is to pass `from' instead of `pos'
to FontList::fontiterator.
Slight cleanup of the code.
This was not necessary when LyX was generously outputting newlines.
As it may happen that the output produced by writeExternal (the
result of an external inset) starts right at the beginning of a
line, if otexstream does not know that something is already on
the line, the iomanip-like variable 'breakln' fails to actually
break the line.
This is what LyX was previously doing. It has no effect on vertical
spacing but, for example, sectioning commands stand out on the output.
The parbreak is not output if an environment follows or the alignment
of the current or next paragraph is changed.
Also remove some superfluous code.
The code for detecting python commands and substituting in the
correct prefix is now merged with what used to be libScriptSearch()
and is now renamed to commandPrep(). This commit does not change
any functionality and just improves organization to reduce the
chance of bugs in the future.
Now the replacement is done in startScript(). In addition to making
the code cleaner and more consistent, this commit fixes a bug where
"$$s" was not replaced when "latex=" was specified in the extra flags
of a converter.
Note that the temporary fix at 731b8610 is reverted with this commit.
The algorithm used for breaking a paragraph in LaTeX export is changed
for avoiding spurious blank lines causing too much vertical space.
This change is tied to the introduction of a new inset (with two
different specializations) helping in either outputing LaTeX paragraph
breaks or separating environments in LyX. Both of the above goals were
previously achieved by the ---Separator--- layout and can now be
accomplished by the new inset in a more natural way. As an example,
after leaving an environment by hitting the Return key for two times,
a third return automatically inserts a parbreak inset, which is
equivalent to the old separator layout, i.e., it also introduces a
blank line in the output. If this blank line is not wanted, the
parbreak separator can be changed to a plain separator by a right
click of the mouse. Of course, an environment can still be separated
by the following one by using the Alt+P+Return shortcut (or the
corresponding menu key), but now the plain separator inset is used
instead of the old separator layout, such that no blank line occurs in
the LaTeX output.
Old documents are converted such that the LaTeX output remains unchanged.
As a result of this conversion, the old separator layout is replaced by
the new parbreak inset, which may also appear in places where the old
algorithm was introducing blank lines while the new one is not.
Note that not all blank lines were actually affecting the LaTeX output,
because a blank line is simply ignored by the TeX engine when it occurs
in the so called "vertical mode" (e.g., after an alignment environment).
The old ---Separator--- layout is now gone and old layout files using it
are also automatically converted.
Round trip conversions between old and new format should leave a document
unchanged. This means that the new behavior about paragraph breaking is
not "carried back" to the old format. Indeed, this would need introducing
special LaTeX commands in ERT that would accumulate in roundtrip
conversions, horribly cluttering the document. So, when converting a
modified document to old formats, the LaTeX output may slightly differ in
vertical spacing if the document is processed by an old version of LyX.
In other words, forward compatibility is guaranteed, but not backwards.
This has the advantage of simplifying our code and to produce the
correct output: the small capitals should have the exact same width as
the lower case letters.
The slanted fonts are also translated to oblique on Qt side, but this
does not seems to have an effect in my testing. It may be that proper
oblique fonts need to be installed.
