Title:
Underscore not shown at some DejaVu mono fonts
Status in fonts-dejavu package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, fonts-dejavu 2.35-1,
mono underscore character is shown as space, issue seen:
* first noticed at Tcl/Tk applications, see this
https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview/6386ce66a48d530747763d5fa97d3c96f8584f73
(14pixel-sized mono font) and this
https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview/d4e20ca3dc tickets there;
* then I've met this font bug at Geany: DejaVu Sans Mono: 14, 17, all
styles, and alike for Bitstream Vera Sans Mono at 14/17 sizes; set
editor fonts (in preferences/interface) to these fonts, underscore
disappears.
Since it is both at a Gtk application (Geany) and Tcl/Tk applications, it
should be a font issue. It seems that DejaVu Sans Mono have generally issues,
thus setting some another font as the system default Mono font would be
reasonable (Liberation Mono seems to work properly).
Notice that mono fonts are commonly used for programming, and underscores are
common in code, thus it is quite a problem to have spaces instead of
underscores in system default mono font.
