Description of problem: The lowercase U, V, W, X and Y in liberation sans at 18px and bold are noticeably thinner than the other letters of the alphabet. It's quite distracting. There is a screenshot attached. It appears to happen only at 18px (bold). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.07.1 Additional info: I'm using arch linux.

I wonder if it is related to hinting?
Created attachment 548581 [details] liberation fonts @ 18pt size by disabling autohint and enabling font level hint Yes, inside fonts width of character is perfect. There are some other hinting bugs are pending for liberation. i will looks all together. I tested this with freetype demo program $ftstring -m abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw ppem 200 /usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationSans-Bold.ttf (f for forcing autohint, h for disabling glyph hint, up/down for increasing pt size) If we enable autohint, everything works fine. I think we should enable autohint in liberation-fonts .conf file.
looks like this is regression of bug #463036

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
Since in Fedora we switched back to Liberation 1.07 this bug still exist in Fedora. Will check and update this accordingly.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I am not planning to fix this issue on liberation 1.07.1. One can move to Liberation 2.00.1 for fix. I am hoping, in few next Fedora releases - we can actually migrate again to 2.00.1
