Packages changed: liberation-fonts (1.07.4 -> 2.1.1)
Anyone else having issues with this? I use Liberation Mono 9 as font for my xterms, and after the upgrade a 130x25 xterm is 130 pixels wider than before
I have investigated again. Your concern is not the changed hinting (in either the font or the freetype renderer), it's a new glyph Liberation gained and which throws xterm (and more generally, libXft) off. So I reported https://github.com/liberationfonts/liberation-fonts/issues/33 for that now.
... and after a wee while, more glyphs got fixed and now the result looks good. Expect liberation-2.1.3 in Factory soon.
Thanks for watching/updating this! (I had just today noticed that I still have a lock on liberation-fonts - guess I'll be able to remove that soon :D )
