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.

The URL used was:
data:text/html,<p style="font-family:'Liberation 
Sans';font-weight:bold;font-size:18px">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy 
dog
