Bug ID: 842568 QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org Severity: unspecified Version: rawhide Priority: unspecified CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, petersen@redhat.com, psatpute@redhat.com Assignee: psatpute@redhat.com Summary: Bad spacing in Liberation Mono with BCI-hinting Regression: --- Story Points: --- Classification: Fedora OS: Linux Reporter: xously@gmail.com Type: Bug Documentation: --- Hardware: x86_64 Mount Type: --- Status: NEW Component: liberation-fonts Product: Fedora
Created attachment 599962 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=599962&action=edit Spacing of "s"
Description of problem:
Applies to Liberation Mono with BCI-hinting.
"s" is too far to the right or left, depending on the font size. E.g. "users" looks like "user s" at size 11. (See first attachment for font sizes 8-16.)
"ow" is merging in bold font, at least at size 11. E.g. in "downloads". (See second attachment.)
Version-Release number of selected component: 2.00.0
How reproducible:
Always with this ".fonts.conf":
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font"> <edit name="antialias" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit name="hinting" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit name="hintstyle" mode="assign"> <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit name="rgba" mode="assign"> <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter"> <const>lcddefault</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig>
With auto-hinting enabled instead, these problems do not occur:
<match target="pattern" name="family"> <test name="family" qual="any"> <string>Liberation Mono</string> </test> <edit name="autohint" mode="assign"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match>
