Description of problem: Because the character '.notdef' has a different width than the rest of the characters in the font, some applications, such as PuTTY on Windows, do not detect Liberation Mono as a valid monospaced font. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.06.0.20100721 Steps to Reproduce: (This is reproducible both on a real Windows installation and under WINE.) 1. Install the latest version of Liberation Mono. 2. Download putty.exe from <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html>. 3. Open PuTTY, look under the Appearance tab, and click the "Change" button under Font Settings. Actual results: Liberation Mono is not in the font list. Expected results: Liberation Mono is in the font list.

good catch !! applied your patch to upstream, will be available in upstream release Note: created mailing list for liberation-fonts see https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/liberation-fonts
I believe this also fixes bug 508899 and bug 557862, which describe related issues that seem to have been fixed by this patch - what field should I add those to?
