https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28324

           Summary: Serif Italic is too heavy or too tall
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Serif
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: giecrilj at stegny.2a.pl


*  the character that looks wrong, or the string needed to see the problem
(obviously)

-o&#61440; <I >output</I >

Up to physical size 16: the Roman glyphs look stroked and the Italic glyphs
look filled, meaning they are much heavier than their Roman counterparts.

Larger sizes: the Italic glyphs is slightly taller than the Roman font (but
shorter under FONT SIZE=-1 so there is no way to compensate for this effect).

    * your desktop and operating system/distribution, and which programs show
the problem (and if any: which programs don't show it)

openSuSE_11.2, KDE_4.3.5, +Firefox_3.5, +OpenOffice_3.1.1 Writer,
+Kfontview_1.1

    * (mainly for Linux users) various font settings if you've been editing
them

Huh?

    * when the problem appears (all sizes, or just at specific font size)

The problem appears at logical sizes up to 16 (transforms into another problem
at 18)

    * No autohinter
