Summary: numerals aren't fixed-width in all sizes of sans font
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: low
Component: dejavu-fonts
AssignedTo: nicolas.mailhot at laposte.net
ReportedBy: cje at btinternet.com
QAContact: extras-qa at fedoraproject.org

Classification: Fedora
Description of problem:
in the default font and size used in firstboot the '5' digit is a slightly
different width, i think. so in the 'date and time' settings screen the text
shuffles a bit as the seconds and minutes tick through 05/15/25 etc.
ah, actually, it looks like it's a hinting problem - this happens with 'full'
and 'medium' but not with 'slight' or 'none'. not sure if that means it's a
problem with freetype rather than the font.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freetype-2.3.9-3.fc11.i586
dejavu-sans-fonts-2.29-2.fc11.noarch
How reproducible:
always.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install fedora
2.in firstboot go to date&time screen
3.watch the time ticking and observe text layout
alternatively log in and enable seconds display and 12 hour mode on the panel
clock and watch that.
Actual results:
layout 'jiggles' as numbers change.
Expected results:
no jiggling.
Additional info:
i think this has been like this for a year at least.
