How reproducible:
execute "ftview 18 /usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationSans-Bold.ttf" (or see

which is a fix of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463036.

I forgot to mention that the problem shows up for different size in Gnome. It
is 13.5 for me in gedit and libreoffice. It takes DPI value into account. The
ftview shows the problem for 72 DPI for size 18, but gedit shows the problem
for 13.5 for 96 DPI.

You can try it with:
pango-view --font="LiberationSans Bold 18" --dpi 72 --text "nun"
or
pango-view --font="LiberationSans Bold 13.5" --dpi 96 --text "nun"

yeah, agree!!
problem happening at particular size.
this looks me one more issues with liberation-fonts hinting.

Dunno should we remove hiting instruction for affected characters and try
autohinting of fontforge, to see is it work or not.

Summary from duplicate bug
****************************************************
Fabian Greffrath 2011-03-07 04:03:52 EST

Created attachment 482628 [details]
See the attached screenshot I took from the SPON website, especially the word
"um"

Originally reported by Michael Biebl to the Debian Bug Tracking System, see
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=616620>;:

Hi,

since upgrading ttf-liberation from 1.05.2.20091019-4 to
1.06.0.20100721-1, the letter 'u' and 'U' has become much
"thiner" in
comparison to other letters. See the attached screenshot I took from the
SPON website, especially the word "um".

I downgraded to the squeeze version again and the problem is gone, so
this is a regression of the new upstream release.

Cheers,
Michael

>  Is only the sans variant affected or also the serif one? 
Hard to say, as the serif letter is completely different. I only recognized
this
with the sans version.

I have to add, that I use LCD, RGB, and full hinting
