            Bug ID: 1031878
           Summary: Font trouble in F20 beta
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 20
         Component: abattis-cantarell-fonts
          Severity: high
          Assignee: ccecchi at redhat.com

There are a couple of issues I've noticed with the Cantarell font in F20 beta,
related to hinting.

For some odd reason, turning the hinting with Tweak Tool from 'medium' down to
'slight' results in a SHARPER display. By default, the font in F20 isn't quite
hinted enough ... and it baffles me why turning it down has the inverse effect!

Secondly, I've noticed at least one distortion within the default font in F20,
and that is with the bold "r" at some sizes (notice that the curving branch of
the letter is too high ... this is also fixed by turning the hinting down to
'slight.'

Hopefully by the time F20 launches, we'll have a crisply rendering Cantarell
font without kinks.
