Hi,
For the quality testing on liberation-fonts in the progress of full source hosting on fedorahosted.org, I have performed some tests mentioned in this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444392
As the screenshots attached there, there are some horizontal displacements on certain glyphs. I also manually tested in GIMP on the PSD files which having two versions of font overlapping each other.
However, it might be excellent if any of you could provide some better ideas on the testing?
IIRC Davide Viti of the Debian font team has a font regression suite. It would be nice to package it and use it for all our font packages
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/screenshots/
BTW your testing with OO.o is non-representative as it uses its own font stack different from the one every other app uses. IIRC right now you have GTK-style font rendering (pango...), QT-style font rendering (being merged with the GTK one at f.d.o), and one-of-a-kind OO.o & java font rendering.
Since you're going to be responsible for a highly visible font package it might be a good idea to drop in one of freedesktop's text layout summits http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/TextLayout to make contacts and make some publicity around Liberation.
Regards,
