Bug Description
Binary package hint: ttf-freefont
I'm running Karmic, and have the ttf-freefont package (version 20090104-2) installed. The Japanese katakana middle dot (・) is off center, to the left, when using the FreeSans font. This makes strings of text that contain this glyph, such as "マ・ジ・ヤ・バ" (a Japanese song I have playing in Rhythmbox), look pretty weird where FreeSans is used. As ttf-freefont is a dependency of ubuntu-desktop, this bug shows on default installations. This bug only occurs at point sizes 9 through 12.

There hasn't been a Katakana middle dot in FreeFont for many years, since years before this report was posted.
Either you are using a very old version of FreeFont or you are seeing a glyph stolen by the font rendering engine from another font.
