[Bug 1564719] New: hinting of "ti" ligature does not match other letters, x-height is slightly too low

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1564719 Bug ID: 1564719 Summary: hinting of "ti" ligature does not match other letters, x-height is slightly too low Product: Fedora Version: 27 Component: lato-fonts Assignee: pikachu.2014(a)gmail.com Reporter: dcallagh(a)redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, pikachu.2014(a)gmail.com, piotr1212(a)gmail.com Created attachment 1418442 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1418442&action=edit screenshot I noticed this after upgrading Fedora 26->27, specifically from: freetype-2.7.1-10.fc26.x86_64 lato-fonts-2.015-3.fc26.noarch to: freetype-2.8-8.fc27.x86_64 lato-fonts-2.015-4.fc27.noarch Not sure if the problem is in Freetype or the Lato font. Rendering of all fonts on my system changed visibly after upgrading, but Lato in particular changed quite noticeably. However the only problem seems to be with the "ti" ligature in Lato, so I assume it is some wrong/missing hinting data on that ligature. I don't see any problem with other ligatures like "fi". Screenshot showing the problem is attached. This is using Lato, size 12, as my GTK UI font in Xorg: $ xrdb -q | grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintslight Xft.rgba: rgb Xft.dpi: 110 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
