For things like that, the first thought that springs to mind is someone, or several people, have created an inaccurate copy of a font (for some older traditional fonts, that often seems to happen). The next thing is whether the font has been created in multiple languages and they're being separately considered. For what it's worth, I've often noticed that Roman characters in Asian fonts are often diabolical. The sizing and spacing is all over the place. That's not unique to Linux, I'd often see that kind of printing in service manuals, where the English text looked like it's been printed using a 100 year old typewriter that fell off a cliff. And I get that in PDF files, from time to time, where I don't have the font they used, they didn't embed it, and the automatically picked font uses characters with oddball sizing, spacing, some overlapping, like a ransom note. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.62.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 5 16:57:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
