GUI mode: spacing in between characters is much bigger than normal

[andrewvoznytsa]

On my Linux/Kubuntu 24.04/X/nVidia driver 550/4k display/200% scaling/DPI 192 in the latest FAR2L installed directly from PPA there is problem with spacing in between character. See attached image.

On the same hardware in the following config Linux/Kubuntu 22.04/X/nVidia driver 550/4k display/200% scaling/DPI 192 it worked very well.

--tty mode is OK from that point of view but my eyes are bleeding

Try choosing a different, monospaced font: F9 (ConfMn), Options -> Interface settings -> Change font button.

Definitely Konsole is the cause here. Just select a different color theme in Konsole profile settings, e.g. "Linux Colors".

Thank you very much for so quick response!

Konsole profile settings helped with the --tty mode.

Changing font in GUI mode does not make any difference - the spacing is still the same.

For me the issue is resolved - I'll use the --tty mode. If you are going to fix GUI mode then feel free to ping me if you need help with testing. Otherwise the issue can be closed.

In Ubuntu 22.04 I use far2l GUI with Ubuntu Mono Regular. You can try any other mono font.

Just played a bit with fonts - no luck. Still the same.

Removing ~/.config/far2l helped to resolve the issue. Seems like the config from Ubuntu 22.04 was not very compatible with 24.04.
