Better testing methods for Liberation Fonts?
by Caius Carlos CHANCE
Hi,
For the quality testing on liberation-fonts in the progress of full
source hosting on fedorahosted.org, I have performed some tests
mentioned in this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444392
As the screenshots attached there, there are some horizontal
displacements on certain glyphs. I also manually tested in GIMP on the
PSD files which having two versions of font overlapping each other.
However, it might be excellent if any of you could provide some better
ideas on the testing?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Caius Chance.

My (limited) understanding is Liberation is getting re-hosted from
RedHat to Fedora with the objective to set it up as a normal floss
project, with regular public releases, scripted build-from-source, sfd
sources in a VCS, patch merging, etc.
So the first step is not so much changing the font as switching its
infrastructure so it can be maintained as a community project (like
DejaVu, Lohit, etc)
You can get more answers on the Fedora fonts list
