gnome-terminal is not a good example, because it forces glyphs to display like they were all the same size. However I have tried with some other applications, and it seems to only happen with the combination of Bitstream Vera Sans Mono and gedit. I'm CCing the ttf-bitstream-vera maintainer in case he has a clue of what this "m" glyph could have special. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
