Bug Description
Rendered in 11pt Regular
Sample Glyphs:
Wachsſchicht ſfſ ſtſ ſlſ
Description:
I know the long s, ſ (U+017F), is no longer used in every day communication. Wikipedia says it belongs to “Latin Extended-A”. Is that block already finished at all?
My observations:
• The hinting is somehow different from small f. I think that is not intended, since for big sizes the upper part of f and ſ become nearly identical. At least the latter is intended, I think.
• The kenning and spacing for ſ is not consistent with the remaining text.

Yes, this is in the Latin Extended A block, which is *complete*, but not *done* as long as there's still bugs! Part of releasing this out into the wild for Ubuntu 10.10 is to get this kind of level of feedback/reports from a wider audience.
