Subject: [PATCH] lib/fonts: Fix bit position when rotating by 180 degrees
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:28:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428083025.63663-1-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
Fix the horizontal bit position when rotating a glyph by 180°. The
original code in rotate_ud() rounded the value in width up to a
multiple of 8, aka the bit pitch, and calculated the rotated pixel
from that value. The new code stores the glyph's pitch in bit_pitch,
but fails to update the rotated pixel's output accordingly. Simply
replacing the variable does this.
The bug can be reproduced by setting a font with an unaligned width,
such as sun12x22, like this:
setfont sun12x22
echo 2 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/rotate
Without the fix, the font looks distorted.
