[Pkg-fonts-bugs] Bug#631173: ttf-dejavu: Randomly broken characters

[Jonathan Ballet]

Package: ttf-dejavu
Version: 2.33-1
Severity: important

Hi,

since a while, I've got issues with the DejaVu fonts as you ca see on
the attached screenshots: some letters don't display correctly (the
't' and the 'f' respectively) at this specific size.
The weird thing is that the problem only appears for specific size,
usually on only one letter. And if I close all the windows of the
application which show the problem (here Iceweasel and Roxterm) and open
it one more time, the problem is gone or the buggy letter is a different
one than previously.

I'm not sure if the problem is related to this specific font. I don't
use many others and I didn't see the problem on other fonts, so it might
be necessary to reaffect this bug. However, I have no clue how to fix or
deal with this problem.

Thanks,

 Jonathan
