Summary: Liberation Mono: incorrect spacing for Combining Diacritical Marks. Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: liberation-fonts AssignedTo: cchance@redhat.com ReportedBy: adam.buchbinder@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: cchance@redhat.com, fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com, fedora-i18n-bugs@redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora

According to the bug on freedesktop.org (link below), Liberation Mono has an incorrect spacing definition for "Combining Diacritical Marks"; they should have zero space, and should render above the last letter, not the next one.
Paste following text with selected font:
Correct: accent above o Incorrect: accent above g
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter a string with a combining diacritic mark in Liberation Mono, e.g., "o̍g". Don't use gnome-terminal; it relies on vte, which doesn't handle combining characters. Use something like gedit; switching fonts will reveal the issue as the diacritical mark switches places. Actual Results: The diacritic appears one letter to the right of where it should be.
Expected Results: The diacritic should appear in the proper place.
I'm using ttf-liberation 1.04.93-1 on Ubuntu Intrepid; I'm filing this as an upstream bug. If this should be filed elsewhere, please let me know.
I'm filing this because several monospace fonts have incorrect spacing for "Combining Diacritical Marks":
