Re: DejaVu fonts for Fedora Core 6 feedback call



Michal, list,

OTOH it seems that DejaVu shows up by default in an ExtraLight
weight.  If this is indeed the case then on many displays Book
seems to be better.

Is it right that ExtraLight should be so thin that it's unusable?

I have seen it as unusably thin on a machine (upgraded from FC5 to FC6t1 using yum). It is a bit of an unusual setup so I haven't reported a bug so far. I manually installed DejaVu for FC5, then removed it and reinstalled after upgrading to FC6. I have set the DPI to 108, which is less than the actual DPI (140 ish), and not the default of 96. I tried out DejaVu and some characters seem to render badly - the 'c' is larger than other lowercase characters, and upper case characters with curves 'O' and 'D' can render with the parts of the curve faded to nothing.

I plan to do a clean install of FC6t2 but in the meantime if there's anything I should do to test / debug and give feedback, let me know. Some guidance on the DPI setting would be useful.
