           Summary: [hinting] «ż» has the dot too far to the left, and
                    too small
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Sans
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: qrczak at knm.org.pl


In Sans at 14px the dot over «ż» is shifted too far to the left, as rendered
by freetype with bytecode hinting enabled. In Sans Mono «z» looks the same
but the dot is moved 2 pixels to the right, which is perfect (the width of the
«z» is even, and the dot looks better in the right one of the two center
pixels).

Also, the dot should look the same as the dot over «i», which is 1px×2px at
this size. At 15px the dot over «ż» changes to 2px×2px, while the dot over
«i» is still 1px×2px. This applies to all DejaVu fonts. 1px×2px at these
sizes should be fine. See
