Package: ttf-bitstream-vera
Version: 1.10-1
Severity: normal
I see this in gnome-terminal and xchat, both configured to use vera sans
mono at 8 points. My display is a LCD (rgb ordering AFAIK) on a Fujitsu
Lifebook P4000. Vera looks great on this display, even at that small
size. Problem is that with this configuration, a 3 looks not unlike a 9,
at any distance over 1 foot from the display. I think it's because the
top (and bottom) ends of the 3 trail off into little antialiased ends,
and the top one ducks down perilously close to the middle of the 3, so
the eye (at least, my eye, corrected for 20/20 vision with some
hardware), sometimes joins the two, yeilding a 9. It looks not unlike an
8 too if I squint at it a little differently. I have no problem at 9
points and up.
And yeah, this is pretty deadly if you're programming or telling someone
a version number. :-( I like how the old X fixed font does it, with the
top of the 3 being a straight line meeting another at a 45 degree angle.
But just cutting the thing 1 pixel shorter would probably fix the
ambiguity too.
