[RHEL6 snapshot 2] emacs has incorrect window size when using IPA Gothic font

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When using emacs with IPA Gothic font, emacs  will have incorrect window size.
  • An 80x31 emacs window can  actually display 145 characters per line.
  • Note:
    • I am using 003.02-1 package from  Snapshot 2 for the IPA fonts, which fixes a problem with the  spacing between characters in the 003.01-4.1 package from RHEL6 beta 1.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Snapshot 2 x86_64
