[Touch-packages] [Bug 1992369] Re: DejaVu Serif Italic capital letters and digits broken
Looking into this again, I found that I had the following line in /etc/environment: FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35 cff:no-stem- darkening=1 autofitter:warping=1" I can't remember why I set this, probably some hinting issues in an old Xubuntu version. Removing it causes v40 of the interpreter to be used, fixing the broken letters. The font is obviously broken when used with v35, but few people are going to notice unless they're as clumsy as me, so you may want to close the ticket. I also found out that `ftview` from the freetype2-demos package is great for investigating these issues, as it lets you cycle through all the relevant settings. Thanks for your help and apologies for not realising that I had a non- standard setup. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fonts-dejavu 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: Confirmed Bug description: After updating from Focal to Jammy, I noticed that DejaVu Serif Italic looks quite broken.
