Title:
Regression: improper kerning of text
Status in freetype package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Sometime during the 13.04 cycle (early March?), tracking/kerning broke
for some characters in the Ubuntu font. I've attached a screenshot
from the titlebar of Thunderbird - notice the following:
1) in 'ubuntu-recovery' from the top row, notice the extra space between 're'
and 'covery'
2) in 'ubuntu-recovery' from the top row, notice the missing whitespace
between 'c' and 'o'
3) in 'Canonical' from the top row, notice the missing whitespace between 'c'
and 'a'
The attached screenshot is for Thunderbird, but I've observed the same
bug in pidgin and LibreOffice in 13.04.
To reproduce:
1) Open a new Libreoffice document
2) Set the font to Ubuntu, 11pt, bold
3) Type in the strings "recovery" and "Canonical"
Expected results:
Characters are kerned properly
Actual results:
Characters are not kerned properly
