Other characters with dot above are broken in a similar way. The most common characters (i and j) are OK though.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This was an issue with upstream DejaVu[1] due to a hinting error in 2.33. This should be resolved with the release of 2.34, which is available in Fedora 20. Does this issue still exist? [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36135 The letters are displayed correctly in Fedora 20. closing per comment #4, thanks. |
Created attachment 744278 [details] Screendump showing the letter ė in DejaVu Sans at various sizes Description of problem: The letter ė is broken in DejaVu Sans on small sizes of the Italic font and the Bold font. The attachment shows a screendump of the letters ėĖ in sizes 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 and 16 in DejaVu Sans. The first row shows Regular, then Italic, than Bold and last Bold Italic. Sizes 8-12 of the Bold font and 8-13 of the Italic font shows the dot above as a vertical line starting where the dot is supposed to be and ending at the baseline. Larger sizes look OK, as do all sizes of Regular and Bold Italic. The capital Ė looks OK everywhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dejavu-sans-fonts-2.33-4.fc18.noarch How reproducible: Always. It is seen in multiple applications. The screenshot is done in Libre Office, but the same thing happens in e.g. firefox.
