Package: fonts-fantasque-sans Version: 1.7~alpha.2~dfsg-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream The font Fantasque Sans Mono is described as being suitable for programmers. However, its glyphs fail to sufficiently distinguish important characters. In particular: * The glyphs for accent characters <U+0060 `>, <U+00B4 ´> do not match correctly. They should be left-right mirror images, but instead the “grave” accent incorrectly looks like a single-open-quote glyph. * The single-quote characters <U+0027 '>, <U+2018 ‘>, <U+2019 ’> have glyphs that are virtually indistinguishable. The <U+0027 '> glyph should not be left or right biased. By comparison, the double-quote characters <U+0022 ">, <U+201C “>, <U+201D ”> have conventional and sufficiently distinct glyphs. There may be other glyphs which in this font are unhelpful to programmers, but these have caught my attention. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_AU.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information -- \ “I was in the first submarine.
