Jim Cornette (jimacornette at netscape dot net) reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198094 When viewing the font within the gnome-terminal and various applications, the m overlaps following characters. This overlapping make readability difficult when viewing the fonts. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dejavu-fonts-2.7.0-1.fc6 dejavu-fonts-experimental-2.7.0-1.fc6 dejavu-fonts-makedefault-2.7.0-1.fc6

I only see one problem in the screenshot, and that is the "m@" combination. The "mmm" series may look tight, but there are not much other possibilities with m. Again, the "m@" problem looks like an autohinter problem; the hinting instructions would make sure that there is always at least one pixel spacing between "m" and "@" at those sizes. The spacing in the "mmm" series may also look tighter because of the autohinter: the row of pixels between the m's is not white but gray (maybe you put on subpixel hinting or you chose medium hinting instead of full hinting?). Anyway, autohinter problems cannot be fixed by us, so resolving as NOTOURBUG.
