Digging a bit more on that, the problem might be the font build system. The most recent fonts-dejavu-extra package is shared across Jammy, Kinetic and Lunar and it appears to be broken on all of them.
Rebuilding the package on Kinetic seems to be enough to fix the problem. But that's not true for Jammy. So I suppose whatever was broken (maybe it fontforge?) was fixed in the version we use in Kinetic. A no-change build is probably enough to fix the issue on Kinetic and Lunar. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-font-viewer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992369 Title: DejaVu Serif Italic capital letters and digits broken Status in fontforge package in Ubuntu: New Status in fonts-dejavu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-font-viewer package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After updating from Focal to Jammy, I noticed that DejaVu Serif Italic looks quite broken.
