Summary: LiberationMono have different metrics for different styles
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738264
Summary: LiberationMono have different metrics for different styles Product: Fedora Version: 15 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: liberation-fonts AssignedTo: psatpute@redhat.com ReportedBy: rkagan@mail.ru QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: petersen@redhat.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, psatpute@redhat.com, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: ---
Description of problem:
LiberationMono Bold and Italic fonts have metrics different from Regular and BoldItalic. This results in various artifacts, e.g. misaligned bold text in xterm or gnome-terminal at certain resolution and font size.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): liberation-mono-fonts-1.07.0-1.fc15.noarch
How reproducible: 100%
Steps to Reproduce: 1. using freetype-demos package:
# for f in /usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationMono-*; do ftdump $f | grep -e postscript -e ascent -e descent done postscript: LiberationMono-BoldItalic ascent: 1705 descent: -615 postscript: LiberationMono-Bold ascent: 1707 descent: -615 postscript: LiberationMono-Italic ascent: 1707 descent: -615 postscript: LiberationMono ascent: 1705 descent: -615
Actual results:
ascent for different styles is different. As a result, at 106 dpi at size 10 pt the rounded ascent is different, too. This makes bold characters misaligned in xterm and gnome-terminal (when used with freetype-2.4.6)
Expected results:
all metrics are the same

version 1.06 didn't have this problem. It looks like it's due to the changes introduced to fix bug 591559.
