Created attachment 482628 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=482628 See the attached screenshot I took from the SPON website, especially the word "um"
Originally reported by Michael Biebl to the Debian Bug Tracking System, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=616620:
Hi,
since upgrading ttf-liberation from 1.05.2.20091019-4 to 1.06.0.20100721-1, the letter 'u' and 'U' has become much "thiner" in comparison to other letters. See the attached screenshot I took from the SPON website, especially the word "um".
I downgraded to the squeeze version again and the problem is gone, so this is a regression of the new upstream release.
Cheers, Michael
Is only the sans variant affected or also the serif one?
Hard to say, as the serif letter is completely different. I only recognized this with the sans version.
I have to add, that I use LCD, RGB, and full hinting

--- Comment #2 from Joachim Namislow jfrieben@hotmail.com 2011-03-08 10:28:25 EST --- Created attachment 482925 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=482925 Artifact for character "u" when employing Liberation fonts
Issue still present for liberation-fonts-1.06.0.20100721-5.fc15 as demonstrated by the attached screenshot. The issue only occurs for the particular font size used in the title: after zooming in or zooming out, the rendering is even again. (Note: attachment 482628 is broken, only the external link is displayed instead of the image itself).

--- Comment #4 from Pravin Satpute psatpute@redhat.com 2011-03-09 00:26:09 EST --- As per comment #2 and #3 it looks like hinting issues. Yet i have not touched hinting instructions of liberation fonts :) dunno should i try for something for specific size (please let me know the size) mentioned in #2,
I did not able to reproduce same in fedora 14 gedit and openoffice
