--- Comment #21 from Conrad Sanderson conradsand@ieee.org 2010-02-05 08:43:36 EST --- Through having my bug report (561318) marked as a duplicate of an old bug, I can see that the original bug hasn't been fixed since 2009-06-30. This is more than 7 months. There's no soft words to express this -- it's pathetic.
Even though this bug is marked as "low priority", it's a high-impact and high-visibility bug, affecting the professional appearance of Fedora, and hence the downstream RHEL 6 product. What would an IT professional think of the rest of RHEL if we can't even get a simple font layout problem fixed ?
Is this a problem with the font or one of the layout engines? Pango? GTK? Qt? X? Why isn't someone from Red Hat looking at this?
