           Summary: [kerning] with ClearType on, "Wo" too close in 7-10pt
                    Sans, Sans Condensed
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium

24-bit PNG Wordpad screenshot showing the word "Woman" in 4 to 20pt DejaVu
Sans, with ClearType on.

In DejaVu Sans and DejaVu Sans Condensed, the pair "Wo" is too close together
in the 7 to 10 point range. I observe this on Windows XP only when ClearType is
turned on; it doesn't seem to be noticeable when ClearType is off.

See attached screenshot for the ClearType rendering of the word "Woman" at
various DejaVu Sans point sizes. This also seems to demonstrate bug 7225 ("om"
too far apart at some sizes, and too close together at others). Perhaps that
bug and this one should be entered as blocks/dependencies, since fixing one
might affect the other(?)
