[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#509666: ttf-sil-padauk: poor quality Latin characters

[Paul Wise]

Package: ttf-sil-padauk
Version: 2.2-1
Severity: normal

Padauk has very poor quality Latin characters, especially at small
sizes. In particular, dpbh seem to have gaps at small sizes. The bold
lowercase c seems to be deformed compared to letters around it. Some
other issues can be seen on the Burmese Wikipedia fonts page:

I don't have pango-graphite installed because it causes Iceweasel/etc to
freeze when viewing the above web page.
