Description of problem: When using Liberation Mono as a default monospace font in Firefox, I have noticed that the lines of equal width (in terms of characters) all have different width. It can clearly be seen on a screenshots that I will attach shortly. It took me about 15 minutes to understand it. I tried with Andale Mono and it looks fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q liberation-mono-fonts liberation-fonts-common fontconfig freetype firefox fedora-release liberation-mono-fonts-1.05.1.20090721-2.fc12.noarch liberation-fonts-common-1.05.1.20090721-2.fc12.noarch fontconfig-2.8.0-1.fc12.x86_64 fontconfig-2.8.0-1.fc12.i686 freetype-2.3.11-3.fc12.x86_64 freetype-2.3.11-3.fc12.i686 firefox-3.5.6-1.fc12.x86_64 fedora-release-12-2.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure liberation mono is installed (rpm -q liberation-mono-fonts) and available (fc-match 'liberation mono') 2.

(1) I consider this is a major bug. (2) A very interesting thing (if you look at screenshots) is we have different relative line widths on different font sizes: say on lmbug3.png line #3 is longest, while on lmbug1.png and lmbug2.png it is shortest!
This is becoming even more interesting. On a colleague's system (Fedora 11) it looks fine, here's the versions of packages she have: $ rpm -q liberation-mono-fonts liberation-fonts-common fontconfig freetype firefox fedora-release liberation-mono-fonts-1.04.93-10.fc11.noarch liberation-fonts-common-1.04.93-10.fc11.noarch fontconfig-2.8.0-1.fc11.x86_64 fontconfig-2.8.0-1.fc11.i586 freetype-2.3.9-5.fc11.i586 freetype-2.3.9-5.fc11.x86_64 firefox-3.5.6-1.fc11.x86_64 fedora-release-11-1.noarch
Firefox is not guilty -- I have just reproduced the issue using Mousepad text editor from XFCE.
Downgrading freetype to version from F11 (ie 2.3.9-5) not helped. Rebuilding the font package from src (liberation-fonts-1.05.1.20090721-2.fc12.src.rpm) not helped *Downgrading the font package (to a version from F11, ie 1.04.93-10.fc11) did helped!* So the problem lies somewhere in between 1.0.4 and 1.0.5
OK I guess it's dupe of #508899
