           Summary: The hyphen (U+002D) is one px too low at pixelsize=14
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Mono Sans
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: cloos at jhcloos.com


The instructions for \hyphen put it one px too low at pixelsize=14.
AKA, one px below the line in an \e or an \a.

At pixelsize=13 it looks good, and matches the height of \e's and \a's crossbars. 

(Yes, I know that isn't the most important thing to match, but in DejaVu Sans
Mono those crossbars are at the right height as compared to the x-height....)

It is the case at that size that \x's intersection is a 2x2 block rather than a
single pixel, and the hyphen ends up level with the bottom of that 2x2 block. 
It would be better were it level with the top of that block.

This all presumes it should look good between runs of minuscule latin, greek
and/or cyrillic.
