Package: fonts-liberation
Version: 1.07.2-3
Severity: normal
Hello,
Today I noticed that some slate.com headlines started to look very weird
in iceweasel. Bolded renderings of the letter "u" do not have the same
thickness as the other letters. If I change the font to DejaVu Sans,
the text looks correct.
The issue seems to only affect the bolded typeface, when scaled to
certain sizes. Slate's CSS for the problematic text is
"font: bold 1.384em arial,sans-serif"
I can fix the issue by adjusting this with firebug. Removing bold fixes
it, as does adjusting the size. Seems like bold at 18px is the culprit.
This is probably similar/related to #616620. Below is a minimal HTML
example which demonstrates the issue.
Thanks,
Ross

Description:
fonts-liberation - Fonts with the same metrics as Times, Arial and Courier
ttf-liberation - transitional dummy package
Closes: 678517
Changes:
fonts-liberation (1.07.2-4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Remove the chunk of bug-799384.patch (introduced in 1.07.2-3)
that reverts bug-715309.patch (introduced in 1.07.2-1) and
thus reintroduces the hinting problem of Liberation Sans Bold
character "u" at particular point sizes (Closes: #678517).
* Raised urgency since this is a regression introduced in wheezy.
