Description Bernard Johnson 2007-06-26 19:50:25 EDT

Always

Thanks for reporting this.  I'll try to get the font kerning fixed as part of my
upstream work in this area.  Please see [1] for further updates.

I'll leave this bug open for now to help me track this particular problem.

Matthew, any chance of having a bug fix in the near future?

Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2008-01-29 14:23:02 EST

Looks like it fell through the cracks.  I'll try to address this soon.

Comment 7 Johnny Proton 2008-05-19 14:42:03 EDT

If this is an upstream bug, how did they manage to fix it in Ubuntu and keep it
fixed for at least 2 versions now?

Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2008-05-19 15:19:48 EDT

Ask Ubuntu.  And tell them to share.

Comment 9 Johnny Proton 2008-05-19 17:19:41 EDT

I'll do what you ask me to do if I can, but I can't see if you are joking or
not.  I just know that I can't print anything out from my emails without it
looking like my computer has preschool quality handwriting.

I know it's been working for quite a while in Ubuntu so I'm wondering why it
isn't working in Fedora.

Comment 10 Matthew Barnes 2008-06-26 23:21:37 EDT

I finally have a patch for this in the upstream bug referenced above, so I'm
closing this as UPSTREAM.  Please continue to monitor [1] for further updates.
