Summary: hinted numerals aren't fixed-width in all sizes of dejavu sans font Product: freetype Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: medium Component: general AssignedTo: wl@gnu.org ReportedBy: cje@btinternet.com CC: freedesktop@behdad.org, fedora-fonts-bugs- list@redhat.com
using the default dejavu sans font on fedora 11 snap1 numerals aren't all the same width when 'full' or 'medium' hinting is enabled. this leads to a 'jiggling text' effect on ticking clocks.
versions are: freetype-2.3.9-3.fc11.i586 dejavu-sans-fonts-2.29-2.fc11.noarch
