Public bug reported:
This is a minor, but weird issue:
Using Hardy, daily version from Feb 15th...
I use "Slight" font hinting, and have noticed that with Grayscale or
Subpixel smoothing (I use Subpixel)
Using the Sans font, the letter combinations fi, fl, and ff make the "f"
character shrink vertically approximately 1 pixel... very weird
some example words (set Slight hinting and a smoothing mode before viewing):
file
flight
difference
fight
Example text:
fffff f
fif
fi f i
fi != f i
ff != f f
fl != f l
It doesn't occur in Open Office, because OO.org doesn't seem to follow
the system-wide font settings.
** Affects: freetype (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
