** Description changed:

  Some characters in the Cantarell font, e.g., å, ê, and ü, have zero
  width in version 0.0.21-1. This makes them display incorrectly and
  overlap other letters. According to the Debian bug
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=822762 the issue has
  been fixed in version 0.0.24-1. Could we please get this version in
  Xenial so my name can be shown correctly?
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ The bug effects users of languages that make use of accents and umlauts. This 
includes at least German and French. All users that use Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with 
the default font Cantarell in one of the effected languages will see "display 
errors" in words that contain one of the effected letters as they are overlayed 
by other letters. This effects at least Firefox and the gnome tweak tool.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Install Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 and select French as language. Open The gnome 
tweak tool. The label on the Fonts menu ("Fenêtres") is not beeing displayed 
correctly. In addition you may open Firefox and navigate to a page that 
contains such a letter in its title (e.g. 
https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/umlaut-ue-ue-in-firefox-ueberschneidet-sich-mi/).
 You will see the issue on the tab label. 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ I can hardly see a regression potential by upgrading the GNOME default Font. 
Same in the Debian project:
