 Hi,

 As the screenshots attached there, there are some horizontal 
 displacements on certain glyphs. I also manually tested in GIMP on the 
 PSD files which having two versions of font overlapping each other.
 
 However, it might be excellent if any of you could provide some better 
 ideas on the testing?

IIRC Davide Viti of the Debian font team has a font regression suite. It
would be nice to package it and use it for all our font packages

http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/screenshots/

BTW your testing with OO.o is non-representative as it uses its own font
stack different from the one every other app uses. IIRC right now you
have GTK-style font rendering (pango...), QT-style font rendering (being
merged with the GTK one at f.d.o), and one-of-a-kind OO.o  java font
rendering.

Since you're going to be responsible for a highly visible font package
it might be a good idea to drop in one of freedesktop's text layout
summits http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/TextLayout to make contacts and
make some publicity around Liberation.
