** Summary changed:

- inconsistent weight in roman numerals
+ inconsistent glyphs for roman numerals

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ttf-dejavu-core
  
- The glyph for the character Ⅺ (roman numeral eleven) is much  bolder
- than the glyph for the character Ⅸ (roman numeral nine) in DejaVu Serif
- Medium Regular.  These glyphs should be symmetric.
+ The glyph for the character Ⅺ (Roman numeral eleven) is absent from the
+ font DejaVu Serif Medium Regular.  The glyph substituted from the font
+ FreeSans is much bolder than the glyph for the character Ⅸ (Roman
+ numeral nine).  These glyphs should be symmetric.
+ 
+ The glyph for the character Ⅺ (Roman numeral eleven) is much shorter
+ than the glyph for the character Ⅸ (Roman numeral nine) in DejaVu Sans
+ Mono Medium Regular.  These glyphs should be symmetric.
+ 
+ The glyph for the character ⅺ (lower case Roman numeral eleven) is both
+ taller and bolder than the glyph for the character ⅸ (Roman numeral
+ nine) in DejaVu Sans Mono Medium Regular.  These glyphs should be
+ symmetric.
  
  Ubuntu 7.10
  Version: 2.19-1ubuntu3
+ 
+ These irregularities can be fixed in two ways:
+ EITHER let FreeSans precede DejaVu in font substitution order (which is a 
dramatic change in how everything looks like)
+ OR add the missing glyphs to DejaVu.
+ 
+ The sample attached shows that the glyph for Ⅸ is taken from DejaVu 
(probably), 
+ the glyph for Ⅹ is taken from MS 明朝 and the glyph for Ⅺ is taken from 
FreeSerif.  It is unacceptable.
