Summary: Bold 'u' looks skinny
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=715309
Summary: Bold 'u' looks skinny Product: Fedora Version: 15 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: liberation-fonts AssignedTo: psatpute@redhat.com ReportedBy: mkasik@redhat.com 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: ---
Created attachment 506011 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=506011 ftview of LiberationSans-Bold.ttf
Description of problem: Letter 'u' from LiberationSans-Bold.ttf has vertical lines narrower than it should have at size 18 (when comparing with 'n').
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): liberation-sans-fonts-1.07.0-1.fc15
How reproducible: execute "ftview 18 /usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationSans-Bold.ttf" (or see the attached image) and compare letter 'u' with letter 'n'.
Additional info: This was introduced in upstream commit http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=liberation-fonts.git;a=commit;h=054d3217e... which is a fix of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463036.

--- Comment #2 from Marek Kašík mkasik@redhat.com 2011-06-23 05:51:43 EDT --- I forgot to mention that the problem shows up for different size in Gnome. It is 13.5 for me in gedit and libreoffice. It takes DPI value into account. The ftview shows the problem for 72 DPI for size 18, but gedit shows the problem for 13.5 for 96 DPI.
You can try it with: pango-view --font="LiberationSans Bold 18" --dpi 72 --text "nun" or pango-view --font="LiberationSans Bold 13.5" --dpi 96 --text "nun"

Dunno should we remove hiting instruction for affected characters and try autohinting of fontforge, to see is it work or not.

Created attachment 482628 [details] 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 ****************************************************
