Bug#549953: Xft versus Pango

[Don Pellegrino <don@drexel.edu>]

Thanks for the quick response and clarification guys.  Sorry I didn't
realize that the issue is coming from Xft.  It does look like the
TrueType Specification includes a tracking table for the font
[http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/RM06/Chap6.html and
http://developer.apple.com/textfonts/TTRefMan/RM06/Chap6trak.html].

Assuming DejaVu Sans Mono defines the Tracking Table then proper
rendering should respect the values in the table.  If Xft does use the
tracking table but it is not defined for this font then this might need
to be a feature request for the DejaVu fonts rather than for Xft.
