Description of problem: When using yelp to read documents on my Rawhide box, I see some problems in character kerning. Using a different font for Applications seems to "cure" this problem, so I'm guessing it's a DejaVu problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dejavu-lgc-fonts-2.15-1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a DocBook XML document in yelp containing e.g. "offers" or "fill"/"file". Actual results: Illegible words Expected results: Happiness. Additional info:
Created attachment 154132 [details] A page of a DocBook document illustrating this problem.
The first one is a known problem with gecko's (mis-)handling of ligatures, the other 2 look ok to me. There is a patch by Behdad in the FC6/RHEL5 firefox package that fixes the ligature problem for firefox 1.5.x, but nobody ported the patch to 2.0 yet :-(
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This is no longer a problem in Fedora 8.
