From: "Nikos Asimakis" <nikos.asimakis> To: submit.org Subject: ugly greek letter m (U+03BC) in liberation sans regular Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:54:11 +0200 Package: ttf-liberation Version: 1.04.92-1 Severity: normal After updating to version 1.04.92-1 the character μ (U+03BC, GREEK SMALL LETTER MU) appears ugly when using Liberation Sans. When using Liberation Sans Bold, Italic and all the variants of Liberation Serif and Mono, μ appears OK. You can see the problem in GNOME Character Map, when using Liberation Sans as GNOME's default application font and in Firefox. I am attaching a small html to demonstrate the problem: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Liberation Fonts Test</title> </head> <body> <p style="font-family:Liberation Sans;"> Liberation Sans<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Sans;font-weight:bold;"> Liberation Sans Bold<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Sans;font-style:italic;"> Liberation Sans Italic<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Sans;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> Liberation Sans Bold Italic<br />μμμ</p> <hr /> <p style="font-family:Liberation Serif;"> Liberation Serif<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Serif;font-weight:bold;"> Liberation Serif Bold<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Serif;font-style:italic;"> Liberation Serif Italic<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Serif;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> Liberation Serif Bold Italic<br />μμμ</p> <hr /> <p style="font-family:Liberation Mono;"> Liberation Mono<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Mono;font-weight:bold;"> Liberation Mono Bold<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Mono;font-style:italic;"> Liberation Mono Italic<br />μμμ</p> <p style="font-family:Liberation Mono;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"> Liberation Mono Bold Italic<br />μμμ</p> </body> </html> -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=el_GR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ttf-liberation depends on: ii defoma 0.11.10-0.2 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ttf-liberation recommends no packages. ttf-liberation suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

Created attachment 325034 [details] test case I am attaching testcase as attachment, but I am not sure what the reporter means -- the letter looks to me roughly same in any Liberation font I have (liberation-fonts-1.04.90-1.fc10.noarch). Switching to ASSIGNED so that developers have responsibility to do whatever they want to do with it.
