I've been playing around with the font, and it's actually even more complicated than it seemed at first. It's not merely a matter of regenerating instructions; that has, in fact, been done. The problem is that FontForge's auto-instructions conflict with the global instructions which were manually coded by Ascender; the glyph looks slightly better removing instructions entirely. Would it be better to revert to the 1.03 version of the cent glyph (no cross-bar)? Or just leave the glyph unhinted? The other alternative, of course, is to find a contributor who actually has knowledge of bytecode hinting. I'd fix it myself, except I don't know the slightest thing about TrueType hinting myself. Anyone here have any knowledge of TrueType instructions who might be able to fix this? (DejaVu contributors, perhaps?) yes, hinting is really presently major thing for liberation there are few more bugs open for hinting see #591556 will discuss this in tomorrow fedora i18n meeting Removed hinting instruction for cent glyph for now in upstream release 1.07.2 liberation-fonts-1.07.2-1.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/liberation-fonts-1.07.2-1.fc16 Package liberation-fonts-1.07.2-1.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
