Status in Ubuntu Font Family: Confirmed Bug description: Rendered in 24pt Regular Sample Glyphs: γ Description: The way the letter γ (U03B3) is styled is different from the typical you would expect in a Greek font. A Greek user would notice the peculiarity in this character and should take a bit to get used to it. What a Greek speaker expects is the 'leg' of γ to be vertical. If γ follows a design principle then I believe it's OK to have it like that. I believe one requirement here is that γ and ν look different. Currently γ looks very similar to the ν from DejaVu Sans (currently default Ubuntu font) but with a 'leg'. See http://simos.info/blog/archives/1144 for blog post and comment regarding γ.
