Summary: Width of '.notdef' character prevents Liberation Mono from being detected
as monospace

           Summary: Width of '.notdef' character prevents Liberation Mono
                    from being detected as monospace
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: liberation-fonts
        AssignedTo: psatpute(a)redhat.com
        ReportedBy: cody(a)zone38.net
         QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org
                CC: petersen(a)redhat.com,
                    fonts-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org,
                    psatpute(a)redhat.com, i18n-bugs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
    Classification: Fedora


Description of problem:
Because the character '.notdef' has a different width than the rest of the
characters in the font, some applications, such as PuTTY on Windows, do not
detect Liberation Mono as a valid monospaced font.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.06.0.20100721

Steps to Reproduce:
(This is reproducible both on a real Windows installation and under WINE.)
1. Install the latest version of Liberation Mono.
2. Download putty.exe from
<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html>;.
3. Open PuTTY, look under the Appearance tab, and click the "Change" button
under Font Settings.

Actual results:
Liberation Mono is not in the font list.

Expected results:
Liberation Mono is in the font list.

I believe this also fixes bug 508899 and bug 557862, which describe related
issues that seem to have been fixed by this patch - what field should I add
those to?
