           Summary: DejaVu letter #119 (ę) has broken slight hinting
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Sans
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

DejaVu letter #119 (ę) has broken slight hinting, while other hintings are ok.
I've attached screenshots of all four hinting styles: none, slight, medium and
full. You can clearly see that slight is broken. This bug was also in Kubuntu 8
but I report it now, after upgrade to 9.04. Please consider that 'ę' is a
common letter in polish language and it looks awful compared to 'e'.

I use this ~/.fonts.conf file:

$ cat /home/spoonman/.fonts.conf
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
   <const>bgr</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
   <const>hintslight</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>
