Thank you, all the folks @ Red Hat!
Man, Mark gets to write all the fun blog posts.
Where should I be filing bugs for this font?
Contrary to Times New Roman (and DejaVu), Liberation doesn’t render the Dutch ‘ij’ ligature correctly (with the j shifted a bit to the left so that the tip ends up under the i). That means Liberation is not as metrically equivalent as claimed…
I’ve added some information on how to use this font by default at http://uwstopia.nl/blog/2007/05/free-your-fonts
reinouts: There’s no RH bugzilla component yet, watch this bug for details https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239884
You can file bugs against your distribution first, then in the red hat bugzilla if its determined to be a problem with the fonts themselves. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi
