Summary: Eccentric glyph for the lowercase Greek gamma letter (γ)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=606217

Summary: Eccentric glyph for the lowercase Greek gamma letter (γ) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: liberation-fonts AssignedTo: cchance@redhat.com ReportedBy: discon@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: petersen@redhat.com, cchance@redhat.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora

Description of problem:

The liberation fonts have a strange glyph for the lowercase Greek gamma letter whenever hinting is on. The hinting makes the glyph look similar to the 'y' letter (the bottom part tends towards left).

This looks weird and is unique on this font family, AFAIK.

--- Comment #1 from James Cloos cloos@jhcloos.com 2010-06-27 14:04:35 EDT --- This one got me curious.

It looks like only the sans and mono faces have that lean; the descender remains vertical in Serif-Regular and Serif-Bold and has the same slope in Italic and BoldItalic as those fonts’ italic angle, AFAICT at screen resolution.

Looking at the »γ« glyph in the Regular faces in fontforge shows that the slant is intentional to the design; the descender is an extension on the right stroke.

I took a look at several fonts and that does seem to be an unique design decision. Most other fonts tend to either extend to left stroke or make the descender an overlapping extension of both strokes.

An interesting issue, indeed!

can you update bug with the lowercase Greek gamma characters Unicode points?

Not sure this is what you want, the character in question is U+03B3.

...

From http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0370.pdf :

------------------------------------- 03B3 γ GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA → 0263 ɣ latin small letter gamma (latin version?) → 213D γ double-struck small gamma (unknown to me - symbol?) -------------------------------------

--- Comment #11 from Fedora End Of Life endoflife@fedoraproject.org --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
