Created attachment 482628

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

Created attachment 482925
  --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=482925
Artifact for character "u" when employing Liberation fonts

Issue still present for liberation-fonts-1.06.0.20100721-5.fc15 as demonstrated
by the attached screenshot. The issue only occurs for the particular font size
used in the title: after zooming in or zooming out, the rendering is even
again.
(Note: attachment 482628 is broken, only the external link is displayed instead
of the image itself).

The same headline is rendered perfectly normal in Epiphany, regardless of the
zoom factor.

As per comment #2 and #3 it looks like hinting issues.
Yet i have not touched hinting instructions of liberation fonts :)
dunno should i try for something for specific size (please let me know the
size) mentioned in #2, 

I did not able to reproduce same in fedora 14 gedit and openoffice
