           Summary: Non-ideal rendering of Latin ligatures for 'fl' and 'fi'
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Sans
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: friedel at translate.org.za


Created an attachment (id=16482)

Rendering with pango

Using Dejavu 2.23 as packaged for Mandriva 2008.1, I get the following
rendering of the Latin ligatures ff and fi, in which the ligatures do not
correspond well to the normal rendering of the letter 'f'.

The attachment is generated with:
pango-view "--font=DejaVu Sans" --output=dejavu-2.23_ligatures.png ligature

Notice how the bar of the 'f' is not on the same height, the hinting at the
bottom does not correspond, and the height of the glyphs don't correspond.

Perhaps extra information from my system might be useful - not sure what
though, so feel free to say if important information is missing, or this is a
known problem.
