           Summary: Poor handling of double dots/umlauts
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Windows (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Sans
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: dqeswn at gmail.com


These marks appear as a two adjacent pixels with dejavu sans at sizes 9-10,
which looks weird and often confusing. It makes them look like one dot or a
short horizontal line. They should be separate. This also happens with sans
mono, but only at size 10 and the "ä" appears fine with separate dots (though
one sided).  The best would be if the two dots would appear two pixels apart in
these occasions, because one pixel distance would put them closer to one side
and therefore asymmetric which doesn't look nice. I attached an image showing
the problem.
Tested versions: 2.31, 2.32. Only tested on windows, so I don't know if its
like this on other platforms too.
