Summary: Different render in the original and 1.0.4 version
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Component: liberation-fonts
AssignedTo: cchance(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: beuc(a)beuc.net

Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
I was using the LiberationSans version from the original announcement at
https://www.redhat.com/f/fonts/liberation-fonts-ttf-3.tar.gz (now 404). I
replaced it with 1.0.4 from https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/ . I use
this fonts in a game engine that is ported from Windows, and that was using
Arial originally. The font rendering is done through SDL_ttf (with style
TTF_STYLE_BOLD) which itself called libfreetype6.
The new version of the font has a decreased quality. I attach 2 screenshots
with the 2 different versions. Check for example the "y": the top of the letter
isn't aligned with the top of the other letters.
Note that the screenshots are taken from Debian Lenny, whose libfreetype6 has
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER activated.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.0.4
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
The game is in development, I don't have a short procedure to install the game
right now, but let me know if you're interested in that.
Actual results:
Irregular letters. Apparent regression in font quality.
Expected results:
Improved quality ;)
