[Bug 1992369] Re: DejaVu Serif Italic capital letters and digits broken

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Stephan, thanks for the update. I'm not going to close it as invalid
because as pointed out by people previously it seems the font didn't
have the issue in past series, even if the setting is non standard and
the priority low as a result there might still be an issue there.

** Changed in: gnome-font-viewer (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Changed in: fonts-dejavu (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

Title:
  DejaVu Serif Italic capital letters and digits broken

Status in fontforge package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in fonts-dejavu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-font-viewer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After updating from Focal to Jammy, I noticed that DejaVu Serif Italic
  looks quite broken. At least the letters EFHKLMNT and the digits 1 and
  4 are affected

  Please see the attached screenshot. This was obtained from `gnome-
  font-viewer /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSerif-Italic.ttf`

  As the font is the default for me in Firefox, it's quite noticeable.

  $ dpkg -l gnome-font-viewer fonts-dejavu-extra
