Font shadow offset miscalculated

[NsCDE]

Hi ... playing around and find things ...

• Fvwm3 version: fvwm3 1.0.3 (1.0.2-109-g42414a3f)

• Linux distribution: Fedora 33

• Platform: Linux x86_64

Expected Behaviour

Thin font shadow as with fvwm2 and fvwm3 versions older than 1. 1. 2021.

Actual Behaviour

Font shadow has offset of 1-2 cm instead of 1 mm. (see pictures)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start NsCDE 1.1 or current master with fvwm3 master
2. Launch Style Manager main window and see shadows

Actual configuration is this:

It is in lines 41 and 42 of /opt/NsCDE/lib/scripts/StyleMgr but it is composed of variables and hard to read. The final result is:

Shadow=2 0 SE:xft:DejaVu Sans:Medium:Book:size=9:antialias=0

Changing font does not resolves this.

• Does the problem also happen with Fvwm2?

No

Does Fvwm3 crash?

No

Extra Information

• Anything else we should know?

Looks like this bug is introduced with d7a2eb6 or 070f355 or b92b520 because it looks normally if I checkout some commit before d7a2eb6.

@mikeandmore,

Can you take a look at this, please?

Does this happen without the shadow?
