Font Rendering problem with FixedSys

[pjlbyrne]

Hi,

I am trying to use the font 'FixedSys' within Code::Blocks. I downloaded the font file from

  www.fixedsysexcelsior.com

but when I set this as the editor font, some characters render incorrectly. The letter combination 'Ap' renders as what looks like a kanji character. This only happens with 12-pt text size. I presume that at 12-point the bit-representation of the font is used, and other point sizes the characters are generated from character outlines.

The 'default encoding when opening files' is set to UTF-8.

Can someone please advise what might be going wrong? I use this font in gnome-terminal without any problems, so I am guessing that there is an error in the way that code::blocks interprets bit-representations from within font files.

Ta,
Patrick Byrne

Exactly the same behaviour occurs in firefox.

Also, this is in Ubuntu Linux.
