Description b kat 2006-08-19 22:32:44 UTC

I'm using Dejavu Sans Condensed as my gnome system fonts on FC5.  One annoyance
is that in "Fi" character sequences they are too close together.  I'll attach a
snapshot from the relevant portion of firefox

Comment 2 Denis Jacquerye 2006-08-22 01:55:29 UTC

This is due to 3 things:
*Fi are tight
*Autohinting places them in a way we can't control
*Gtk has a bug making them even thighter when in a menu and one character is a 
mnemonic.

Because of the last two reasons I'll just mark this a dupe of other "DejaVu is 
too tight" bugs
