(In reply to comment #1) Would you mean the pixel on bottom left corner? Created attachment 329524 [details]
test fix, post auto-hinting applied with fontforge
Could you please check if this .ttf has 'u' fixed?

Appearance of auto-hinted "u" in Liberation Mono
Still broken, but in a different way. See attachment 329526 [details].
For what it's worth, the "u" is OK in version 1.03 of the font - can the hinting be copied from that version?
I have checked again. The hinting instructions and cvt are totally same between ver 1.03 and current version. Weird. No idea what would be causing that. I may have to play with it in FontForge some myself to see what might be causing this quirk... I have triaged on my Fedora 10 and Liberation Mono Bold looks fine (attached screenshots). Since I didn't have problem on my OpenOffice, I currently have no idea about this yet. Created attachment 329532 [details]

It looks fine with hinting turned off on my system too; same if I set fontconfig to use auto-hinting. Only if I use bytecode hinting (which is enabled by default in Ubuntu) does it look "wrong". Created attachment 329538 [details]
fixed by copying hinting from "u" in v1.03
Created attachment 329539 [details] Screenshot of fix from attachment 329538 [details] I fixed it by using Edit -> Copy From -> TrueType Instructions to copy the "u" character from version 1.03 to 1.04. The font file itself is in attachment 329538 [details], and a screenshot of how the fixed version appears under bytecode hinting is in attachment 329539 [details]. Feel free to adopt this patched version. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Zap this bug. Please reopen if bug persists after testing on latest version. |
Created attachment 328517 [details] Liberation Mono Bold 1.04.93 with antialiasing on Description of problem: Though the hinting has been fixed in Sans Bold as of version 1.04.92, the letter "u" still has incorrect hinting in Mono Bold, an error that's quite noticeable in certain sizes on any system with bytecode hinting enabled. I'm attaching a screenshot from Ubuntu to demonstrate; of particular note are 9 point (the second line) and 12 point (the 5th line). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.04.93
