Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/35470 Comment: Curiously, using Gedit with text at different sizes, *all* works well. It seems that the problem appears only in some applications, not all. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yes, but it's true letters are tight at the size used in your screenshot. Try using similar text in Gedit at different sizes, you'll see it only looks bad at some sizes. We'll try to leave more space so DejaVu looks better than Bitstream Vera. But right now DejaVu 2.4b and Bitstream Vera should have the same space, if they don't it's a font renderer bug. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
