Package: libfreetype6
Version: 2.1.10-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

There seems to be a awkward problem with rendering Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
font at 8pt.  When people have a screen set to 95--97 DPI, there is almost
no spacing between the letters and even parts of letter overlap (negative 
spacing).
See for example my GNOME terminal:

Since 96DPI is a rather common DPI and 8pt a normal font size for high
resolution screens, this problem should not be a rare one.

This problem seems to occur with Pango using apps/libs like Gecko or VTE. 
I have no problem with it in for example the GtkFontSelector widget with
the same text.

I have downgraded to 2.1.7-2.4 and the problem is gone.  If I need to
perform some tests, please let me know. 

Greetings,

Paul
