Bug Description
Rendered in 15pt Regular
Sample Glyphs:
s
Description:
Just trying the beta of the Ubuntu font. I was trying sizes that will likely be used on screen (10-12point) and, to my eye, the lower case "s" seems oddly irregular and angular. The bottom of the "s" seems nicely curved, but the top portion has an awkward right-angle just before it turns upwards. In fact, it seems more like a "5" than an "s" due to that right-angle and perhaps could be confused as such.
This doesn't affect it at 10pt but is apparent at 12pt.
Screenshot was captured on Chromium 6.0.471.0 on Windows XP.
