Well, maybe the DejaVu team circumvented a bug in FreeType. I don't have version 2.21 for testing (and honestly, I don't have much time to investigate this bug further since it is of no big importance due to the `fixed' version).

Please reopen this report if you find out that 2.21 triggers a bug in the current verison of FreeType.

Damn. You are right. 2.24 (and 2.25) is rendered correctly at me.

I've been watching this bug for few months and I believed it will fix itself by regular upgrade however my distributor decided to freeze dejavu font on 2.21 because of missing kerning pairs which produce overlaps in Gecko 1.8/Firefox 2.

I deeply apologize for disturbing you.

I can't repeat that (displaying DejaVu Sans Oblique version 2.24 with ftview) and compiling FreeType with `make devel; make' (version 2.3.5, 2.3.6, and current CVS). Regardless what I do, the hyphen doesn't disappear.

And no, this bug is definitely not related to bug #23310.

Perhaps 2.24 fixes this?

Hyphen character from DejaVu Sans Oblique font is not shown in sizes 11-12 with 96 DPI with full or auto hinting. Other fonts or sizes*dpi displays hyphen correctly. Tested with DejaVu-2.21 and freetype-2.3.6.

Run

pango-view --text '2008-06-19' --font 'DejaVu Sans, Oblique 12' --dpi 96 --hinting full

or

ftview -r 96 -m '2008-06-19' 12 /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansOblique.ttf

The hyphens between numbers are not shown, just blank space is rendered (something like "2008 06 19").

This happen only with oblique style of DejaVu Sans and sizes corresponding to 11--12 points on 96 DPI screen with antialiasing on.

I have binary interpreter compiled in.

This bug is maybe related to bug #23310 and has been reported in pango bugzilla <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539125> accidentally.
