Let's explain this a bit further: -The X11 driver tries to emulate a real LC display. A real LCD has a -size of columns*rows characters. Each character consists of xres*yres -LCD cells. One single cell will be represented by a rectangle of -pixelsize*pixelsize pixels. If you want to, you can emulate the gap -between this lcd cells by specifying a pixelgap greater than zero. -Sometimes there's a gap between characters, too. You can specify this -gap (in pixels again) horizontally and vertically. Usually this gap -is the same size as a cell (which is pixelsize+pixelgap). If you specify -either the row gap or the column gap as -1, this cell size will be used -instead. - -If you use a font of 5x8, some characters may use the first and the last -pixel. So you should specify a column gap, otherwise the caracters may -touch. On the other hand, the 6x8 font never uses the first pixel. So you -can omit the column gap, and will get the same text layout, but -uninterupted bars! - -After all: don't try to understand this unless you have tried it out! -- cgit v1.2.3
