           Summary: phonorecord copyright symbol U+2117 not hinted as well
                    as regular copyright symbol U+00A9
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mike at skew.org


At some rasterized pixel sizes, the phonorecord copyright symbol (U+2117) --
which is present in Sans, Sans Light, and Sans Condensed -- demonstrates
hinting irregularities as compared the regular copyright symbol (U+00A9).

The regular symbol's circle is always uniform and the letter inside maintains
its basic shape at all point sizes, whereas the phonorecord symbol's circle is
sometimes pointed on top, and the top or bottom of the curved part of the "P"
is sometimes at an angle.

The two symbols are often found in proximity to each other in text, so any
differences can be noticeable. The two should match, aesthetically.
