DejaVu letter #119 (ę) has broken slight hinting, while other hintings are ok. I've attached screenshots of all four hinting styles: none, slight, medium and full. You can clearly see that slight is broken. This bug was also in Kubuntu 8 but I report it now, after upgrade to 9.04. Please consider that 'ę' is a common letter in polish language and it looks awful compared to 'e'.
