You have been subscribed to a public bug: Unicode contains the two whitespace characters U+2007 FIGURE SPACE and U+2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE that should be equal in width to a digit and a punctuation symbol, respectively.
In the Ubuntu Font, these are slightly too wide, such that tables using them for alignment will be misaligned. I am using Ubuntu 14.04, but the problem persists after installing ttf-ubuntu-font-family_0.83-0ubuntu1. I can reproduce the problem with LibreOffice, Firefox, and Chromium (test cases attached). The test cases also use Droid Sans to show the expected behavior. ** Affects: fonts-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- U+2007 FIGURE SPACE and U+2008 PUNCTUATION SPACE too wide https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1543989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to fonts-ubuntu in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~documentation-packages Post to : documentation-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~documentation-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
