           Summary: hinted numerals aren't fixed-width in all sizes of
                    dejavu sans font
           Product: freetype
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: wl gnu org

                    list redhat com


using the default dejavu sans font on fedora 11 snap1 numerals aren't all the
same width when 'full' or 'medium' hinting is enabled.  this leads to a
'jiggling text' effect on ticking clocks.

versions are:
freetype-2.3.9-3.fc11.i586
dejavu-sans-fonts-2.29-2.fc11.noarch

for more details see redhat bug 495820
