https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620273
Summary: Width of '.notdef' character prevents Liberation Mono from being detected as monospace Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: liberation-fonts AssignedTo: psatpute@redhat.com ReportedBy: cody@zone38.net QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: petersen@redhat.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute@redhat.com, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora
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.
