check same thing in gedit or libreoffice. It looks fine. might be some other problem I forgot to mention that the problem shows up for different size in Gnome. It is 13.5 for me in gedit and libreoffice. It takes DPI value into account. The ftview shows the problem for 72 DPI for size 18, but gedit shows the problem for 13.5 for 96 DPI. You can try it with: pango-view --font="LiberationSans Bold 18" --dpi 72 --text "nun" or pango-view --font="LiberationSans Bold 13.5" --dpi 96 --text "nun" Marek yeah, agree!! problem happening at particular size. this looks me one more issues with liberation-fonts hinting. Dunno should we remove hiting instruction for affected characters and try autohinting of fontforge, to see is it work or not. I think this is regression of bug #463036 I will restore those instructions again and update this bug *** Bug 682677 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Summary from duplicate bug **************************************************** Fabian Greffrath 2011-03-07 04:03:52 EST Created attachment 482628 [details] See the attached screenshot I took from the SPON website, especially the word "um" Originally reported by Michael Biebl to the Debian Bug Tracking System, see <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=616620>: Hi, since upgrading ttf-liberation from 1.05.2.20091019-4 to 1.06.0.20100721-1, the letter 'u' and 'U' has become much "thiner" in comparison to other letters. See the attached screenshot I took from the SPON website, especially the word "um". I downgraded to the squeeze version again and the problem is gone, so this is a regression of the new upstream release. Cheers, Michael > Is only the sans variant affected or also the serif one? Hard to say, as the serif letter is completely different. I only recognized this with the sans version. I have to add, that I use LCD, RGB, and full hinting **************************************************** liberation-fonts-1.07.2-2.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/liberation-fonts-1.07.2-2.fc16 Package liberation-fonts-1.07.2-2.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
