Package: fonts-urw-base35 Version: 20200910-4 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: m...@merchantsedition.com
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Installing and using font Nimbus Mono in a programming oriented text editor. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Type words which expose ligatures in font Nimbus Mono. For example 'office' or 'affected'. Verified in Gedit and Geany. * What was the outcome of this action? Several characters, like 'ffi' or 'ff', get squeezed into the width of a single character. That's counterproductive, as the whole point of a monospaced font is to use the same width for every character. * What outcome did you expect instead? Character sequences like 'ffi' to be three characters wide. Character sequences like 'ff' to be two characters wide. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.17.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fonts-urw-base35 depends on: ii xfonts-utils 1:7.7+6 fonts-urw-base35 recommends no packages.
