The problem is shown in the attached screenshot

For me, with version 2.21-1, hyphens are completely invisible when I use
DejaVu Sans italic at 10pt.

Hi Daniel,

it could be that after installation your cache got messed up, so restarting
would help.
It'd be great if you could provide a screenshot showing your problem.

Davide

This has been happening for me for a couple weeks now, through several
restarts.

I've attached a screenshot of kmail exhibiting the problem, which is how I ran
into it.  I can also reproduce it with kword displaying DejaVu Sans italic 10
pt.

Hi Daniel,

can you try to see if "fc-cache -f" fixes it?

thanx,
Davide

Hi,

this was a bug in the hinting instructions in DejaVu. It's fixed now in
SVN and in our next version which is planned for December 9 (if you
cannot wait that long, it's also available in our snapshots at
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/snapshots starting from tomorrow).

Thanks for reporting,
Ben

I can't really reproduce the bug mentioned in #413571. As saif in the
bug log, this has probably been fixed upstream meanwhile.

Hi Christian,
the BR was open for a problem with hypens, sometimes aligned ot
the right, sometimes to the left: dejapu people are aware of this and said it
shoul be pretty hard to fix, but it is a bug.
Later on Daniel S. said he could
no see hypens at all; this does not happen anylonger, but the original problem
is still there.

regards,
Davide

While packaging the latest SVN snapshot from upstream DejaVu SVN, I
confirmed that Debian bug #413571, where the hyphen is sometimes too
close to the letter on its right in Sans Oblique, is still here.

See attached screenshot.

thanks for your recent work on this package! However, please remove the
"Provides: ..." lines from the new fonts-* packages. They *do not*
provide the fonts under the same file names as the ttf-* packages.

Also, fonts-dejavu still mentions ttf-* in its short description.

I'm indeed pondering compatibility symlinks. Have we done that for
other packages already?

I was under the feeling that it had been done but I can't find good
examples.

Fonts-liberation, i think. We even had a bug report about this.

Hi Christian,

I've seen you solved this by symlinking the old and new font directories.
This practice is highly discouraged, please c.f.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/10/msg00070.html

I'd like to change that directory symlink to per-file symlinks in the
transitional packages. Are you alright with that change?

Grmbl. Not being online doesn't help me to check this but, at first
glance, I need to be convinced that a simple solution is discouraged
in favor of a complicated one (which will, over time, bring problems
for maintenance).

Will read that link, though.

Control: reassign -1 fonts-dejavu

Reassigning after the transitional package got dropped.

Thanks,
Guillem
