    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.
