           Summary: Ugly appearance of windows and wrong calculation of
                    character width's by eclipse
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 10
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium

Description of problem:
In Fedora 10, when I set the system locale to fa_IR (Persian Language) and log
in to gnome many things are larger which results in an ugly desktop. Gnome
panel's minimum height which is 24 in en_US locale is 29 in fa_IS locale.
Windows' title bars are also are larger (more height). The worst thing is that
these sizes do not depend on the selected font! 
Totally, the desktop is uglier in fa_IR locale. 
Things are still not that bad till now, but in Eclipse when you enable "show
print margin" option in its text editor settings, the line which is intended to
show the 80 character margin appears in the middle of the editor, around
character 50. In en_US locale, it appears in the correct position.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In the gdm login screen, select Persian language and login
2.You can see that gnome applet is larger, and larger icons appear in it as a
result
3.Run eclipse and enable "show print margin", in its text editor preferences.
4. The print margin in eclipse appears in the middle of the text editor area,
which is around character 50, while it should appear at the end of 80th
character.

Expected results:
Normal window sizes and correct estimation of print margin in eclipse text
editor.
