[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#568857: ttf-linux-libertine: heights mismatch for bracket characters ‘[]’

Package: ttf-linux-libertine
Version: 4.4.1-4
Severity: normal

When “Linux Libertine O” is used to render the bracket characters
‘[]’, the heights of these two matching characters should be equal. As
the attached window screenshot shows, they are not.

In the displayed web page (the URL is
<URL:http://diveintomark.org/archives/2010/01/29/tinkerers-sunset>,
the two characters are shown adjacent “Apple ][e”. This clearly shows
the mismatched heights of these two characters, which should be mirror
images of each other.
