Fri 15 May 2020 01:49:40 PM UTC, comment #6: That's exactly the point of references, to ensure consistent hinting on glyph portions intended to be exactly the same. However, not all fonts that have this glyph have it referenced, so it ends up with suboptimal hinting. This is an issue in the underlying hinter, named ttfautohint. One could argue it is not objectively an issue because if the references weren't added, this means things like this are allowed to happen. Another one could argue that this is a real issue because accented letters are meant to be consistent even if not referenced. |

With autohinting (“slight hinting” in Gnome settings), in DejaVu Sans and Sans Mono, ‘e’ and ‘ę’ at some sizes have the horizontal bar at different heights; ‘e’ is fine, ‘ę’ is ugly.

For font designers using ttfautohint, to fix it they have to make the glyphs (ą, ę, etc.) referenced and disable the Hint Composites option.
