Package: fontconfig
Version: 2.3.2-1
Severity: normal

Some fonts look too heavy above certain pixels sizes.  That's quite
annoying on high DPI displays, e.g. Arial 10pt and Verdana 10pt
Regular look like bold fonts on my 133dpi notebook display.

On my 100dpi TFT, I get the following:

* All Bitstream Vera fonts: OK up to 11pt, too bold above
* Arial:                    OK up to 12pt, too bold above
* Courier New:              OK up to 26pt, too bold above
* Georgia:                  OK up to 11pt, too bold above
* Times New Roman:          OK up to 12pt, too bold above
* Trebuchet MS:             OK up to 11pt, too bold above
* Verdana:                  OK up to 11pt, too bold above
