[Bug 107796] Kate + DejaVu Sans no longer works

[Jukka Suomela]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kate

After today's update to the new version of Kubuntu, I noticed that fonts
in Kate look bad (too light, fuzzy) and display is distorted (extra
whitespace, cursor is not placed exactly between the characters, etc.)

I was using DejaVu Sans fonts. It seems that there is a new font variant
"Light" in addition to "Normal" and "Bold", which might cause the
problems. Toggling bold on/off for each style fixed some of the problems
but not all of them: the fonts look normal but the display is still
somewhat distorted.

Switching to Bitstream Vera Sans helps. A poor workaround but at least
the editor is somewhat usable.
