Title:
  FontForge icon looks excessively pixelated in the gnome-shell desktop
  environment or dark themes

Status in “fontforge” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: fontforge

  In the GNOME-Shell Desktop Environment, the FontForge icon looks very
  pixelated. The problem is also very noticeable on dark themes such as
  "Dust", which part of is used by default in the Ubuntu Netbook Remix.
  Almost every single other icon isn't nearly as bad as this. The
  problem is because there are gray pixels around the edges of the icon
  instead of proper alpha transparency. This is a very minor bug, but it
  shouldn't be too hard to fix. Maybe it could be done as part of the
  Hundred Paper-cuts project or something? Icons affect the first
  impression that users get of a program, or maybe even the entire
  operating system. I think we should make a good effort to have icons
  that look as good as possible.
