comparison between Liberation Sans and Helvetica
Description of problem:
The rendering of the two Unicode tie bar combining characters (U+035E and
U+035F) is not ideal. In particular the characters are quite short and far away
from the characters they are tying together. This makes it appear more like a
misplaced macron than a tie bar. The rendering in Liberation Sans appears to be
equivalent to that of Arial which has the same issues. The rendering in
Helvetica is better (see attachment 1).
In particular, because the under tie bar (U+035F) is so far away from the other
characters, it sometimes gets clipped when rendered, as it appears to fall
slightly outside of the bounding box for the line height (see attachment 2).
My suggestion would be to make the length of both tie bars slightly longer, and
to move both of them slightly closer to the characters they are intended to tie
together.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
12-Mar-2014 (2.x)
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install latest Liberation Sans (and Helvetica if you want to compare)
2. Go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Kaldari/Font_test_2
Actual results:
Tie bars should be slightly longer and closer to the other characters.
Expected results:
Tie bar are quite short and far away.
Additional info:
See attachments for more info.

[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 1084227] New: Arrow symbols too small and not nicely aligned

testcase with some exemplary arrows
The arrow symbols contained in Liberation fonts seem to be too small and also a
little mis-aligned.
As an example consider the attached testcase which contains left/right/up/down
arrows exemplarily. The attached screenshot is a rendering of this file to
illustrate the issue:
- The arrows are much to small making them hardly discernible,
especially at small font sizes.
- The horizontally aligned arrows are positioned too low (nearly at the
baseline).
- Also visible: Hinting for the vertically aligned arrows is bad.
The screenshot was created with Firefox 28.0 on Windows 7.
The installed version of the Liberation fonts is 2.00.1

[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 851950] New: Latin ligatures need 'liga' standard ligature lookups
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851950
Bug ID: 851950
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
Severity: low
Version: 17
Priority: unspecified
CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,

Summary: Latin ligatures need 'liga' standard ligature lookups
Regression: ---
Story Points: ---
Classification: Fedora
OS: All
Reporter: deron.meranda(a)gmail.com
Type: Bug
Documentation: ---
Hardware: All
Mount Type: ---
Status: NEW
Component: liberation-fonts
Product: Fedora
Description of problem:
Glyphs in the Latin Ligature block (U+FB00 .. U+FB06), such as "fi" and "fl",
should have the OpenType 'liga' lookup features defined. That will allow text
renderers to automatically apply the ligature glyph.
Additionally, for completeness, the ligature caret horizontal positions should
be appropriately set for these glyphs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liberation-fonts-2.00.0
Additional info:
You may need to solve bug #851790 first.
Also the "fi" (and "ffi" if existing) should exclude dotless-i
scripts/languages, e.g., Turkish.

[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 1161284] New: git dependency
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161284
Bug ID: 1161284
Summary: git dependency
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Component: gettext
Severity: low

Description of problem:
gettext-devel depends on git
Additional info:
Mail correspondence with Daiki Ueno:
> Can you please remove the git dependency for gettext-devel?
>
> This is supposed to be a development package (mainly include files).
> Since git on Fedora is very old and not updated reagularily, I tried to

>
> AFAIK this is the only *-devel package which depends on git.
Actually, it _was_ needed for autopoint (a developer script, like
autoconf or automake), when we used git as a compression method of
/usr/share/gettext/archive.dir.*. Now that the default changed to
tar.xz, git shouldn't be necessary anymore.
> I truly believe this is a bug. Can you please fix this?
Could you please file a bug on bugzilla.redhat.com, so we don't forgot
to fix it on the next update?

[Fedora-i18n-bugs] [Bug 1036220] New: Font hinting and aliasing not properly configured on fresh Fedora 19 install.
by Red Hat Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1036220
Bug ID: 1036220
Summary: Font hinting and aliasing not properly configured on
fresh Fedora 19 install.
Product: Fedora
Version: 19
Component: fontconfig
Severity: high
Assignee: tagoh(a)redhat.com
Reporter: alxgrtnstrngl(a)gmail.com
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
CC: fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org, pnemade(a)redhat.com,
tagoh(a)redhat.com
Created attachment 830756
--> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=830756&action=edit
These are the configurations for 10-antialias.conf and 10-hinting-slight.conf
Description of problem:
The fonts in Fedora 19 look odd, thin and the font alignment is totally off
resulting in unreadable or very poor quality text. Setting Gnome Shell's or
even Mate's anti-aliasing font-configuration here does nothing to enhance text
quality. Web-pages in browsers such as Chrome and Firefox look ugly and
strange. Other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Unixes like Mac OS X do
not have this problem, on fresh installs fonts look crisp, beautiful and full.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)
How reproducible:
Do a fresh install of Fedora 19 from the install images, look at the fonts.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a fresh install of Fedora 19 from the install images.
2. Attempt to use the desktop environment settings to adjust the font aliasing
and hinting.
3. Look at text rendering versus that in other distributions.
Actual results:
Text is rendered in a very odd and thin way, kerning is also off and the fonts
characters are misaligned, in Fedora resulting in a degraded visual experience
especially in web-browsers,
Expected results:
Text should render in a similar beautiful and smooth fashion the way it does on
other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Unixes such as Mac OS X.
Additional info:
Manual configuration is required to fix this by creating the proper symbolic
links between '/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/' and '/etc/fonts/conf.d' for
the following configurations which are installed in 'conf.avail' but just never
configured out of the box:
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf'
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf'
It also requires the creation of the following two font configurations which
are attached to this bug report and the creation of the corresponding symbolic
links in '/etc/fonts/conf.d':
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-antialias.conf'
'/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf'
