Package: libfreetype6 Version: 2.1.10-3 Severity: normal Recently, though I cannot say exactly when, at least a few days, at most a few weeks, kerning with some fonts is too strong. I have prepared a screenshot using Calibri. This is from a GTK menu, so I assume it really is a freetype issue. Note that a ‘T’ and a following letter are very close, but still acceptable, while the capital letters are too close or even touch.
Other fonts exhibiting this behaviour are Minion Pro and Myriad Pro, but neither Cambria nor Chaparral Pro, so it is neither a ‘Pro’ problem nor a problem with OpenType fonts in general (all of the above-mentioned are OpenType, some of PostScript flavour, some of TrueType flavour). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libfreetype6 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime libfreetype6 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
