I have checked and the hinting tables (hinting instructions, fpgm, prep, maxp, cvt) are all existing in there.
Have you test on non Firefox (or similar like epiphany)? Firefox has pango. Also, please turn off anti-aliasing before testing. I could only fix hinting but not how pango operates.
Hi, could I ask which part of the glyph you feel is ugly? Personally I feel 'R' looks similar as other characters.

I enable slight hinting for Liberation Sans.

Could you kindly screenshot the R in non-Pango application? (such as gedit) > I enable slight hinting for Liberation Sans. Would you mind re-confirm in 'gnome-appearance-properties' which anti-aliasing is *off* please?
