Package: ttf-liberation
Version: 1.04.92-1
Severity: normal

After updating to version 1.04.92-1 the character μ (U+03BC, GREEK
SMALL LETTER MU) appears ugly
when using Liberation Sans.

When using Liberation Sans Bold, Italic and all the variants of
Liberation Serif and Mono, μ appears OK.

You can see the problem in GNOME Character Map, when using Liberation
Sans as GNOME's default
application font and in Firefox.

I am attaching a small html to demonstrate the problem:

Hi Nikos,

I submitted "your" bug to fedoras bugzilla, as this is where ttf-liberation is 
developed.

me..

Hi Holger,
The screenshot you attached in your last message is exactly the way the
new liberation fonts (1.04.92-1) appear on my system. If you compare the
letter μ in liberation sans between versions 1.04~beta2-2 and 1.04.92-1
you will see that the new version is ugly (much more bold and it gets
thinner near the edges). Liberation sans bold (and other variants of
liberation) haven't changed between the two versions.

I am attaching a screenshot where you can better see the difference
between 1.04~beta2-2 and 1.04.92-1.

Hi,

I plan to upload 1.04.93 shortly, though probably not today... if someone is 
faster, yay!
