Description Nicolas Mailhot 2006-07-09 09:57:02 UTC 
Tony Nelson <tonynelson at georgeanelson dot com> reports

Per your request on fedora-list to test the DejaVu fonts, I installed them
via yum on FC5 and tried Sans Mono in gnome-terminal.  Wide characters
(e.g., "m") overlap the following letter in at least sizes 9, 10, and 11.
DejaVu cannot be used as a terminal font until this is fixed. 

Font Preferences:
    DejaVu Sans Mono
    Fixed Width Font: DejaVu Sans Mono Book 9, 10, 11
    Details:  96x96 dpi, Smoothing: Grayscale, Hinting: Medium
Display:
    1152x864, 85 Hz, Millions of Colors, Princeton EO930, ATI Radeon 7000
xdpyinfo:

This is probably a dupe of #7466
It may be a dupe of #7425
Both may be dupes of 7450

This problem seems to be solved in the current CVS.  [I thus mark the bug
as fixed.  However, it's not completely fine due to jumping glyph
widths at 11ppem (this is 8pt at 96dpi) -- we are working on this.]

Please forget the comment regarding jumping widths.  This was an error
on my side.
