Yes, Regression was identified.
In fact i am also thinking on this line. We have couple of bugs pending
[4][5] in Fedora against Liberation 1.0 to add some more characters. At
the same time the same characters are already available in Liberation 2.0.

[4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952778

Could this be related to the following bug reported in Debian BTS?

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680581


Yes, looks same. I will fix this in next couple of week and will do next release of Liberation 1.0
 


No. Liberation 1.0 is not deferred in favor of other font. Since there
is no alternative font providing same crisp hinting effect and same time
have more glyph coverage. Fedora still uses Liberation 1.0 and if there
are any major bugs upstream is ready to fix and make new releases.

Alright, so the current plan is "wait and see what happens"?


Yeah. no option. At least will fix the major issues. So we can say in maintenance mode no new development.
 


What version of Liberation does Debian ships presently?

1.07.2 with a couple of patches taken from Fedora:

Looks good.
