Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ttf-liberation
See the attached image: both are Liberation Sans Bold 18px. The one on the top is ttf-liberation 1.05.2.20091019-4 (natty's version), and the bottom is 1.06.0.20100721-1 (oneiric's version). The hinting on the lowercase u makes it appear very thin and out-of- place in 1.06 while the 1.05 version looks fine. The browser rendering the text was chromium-browser version 13.0.782.0~svn20110601r87409-0ubuntu1~ucd1~natty from https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa. I can also reproduce in firefox version 5.0~b3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1.
