[1 mod] Hinting/Style: Greek lowercase nu and gamma difficult to distinguish at 10pt

[adoa]

Rendered in 10pt Regular 'ν γ'

My Firefox displays the letters ν and γ nearly identical for 10pt. There the obvious difference is only a few pixels. It seems the difference in becoming more and more clear for sizes > 10pt.

There was another Bug (#609289) where the shapes themselves were criticized. I marked it as a duplicate, don’t know whether that was correct, but I think this is more a question of hinting: the downstroke in the γ should be visible for 10pt as well. For 11pt it looks fine for me, but that is quite subjective.

Could we see a screenshot with all your settings exactly the same but
also featuring the Latin "y" character at the same size, so we can see
how global/general the issue is?

Many thanks - that helps me see what's going on. We can't have the gamma
going any lower than the descender of the "y" for reasons of
consistency, so if we do decide this is an issue in practice, we'll have
to find a solution other than just adjusting the descender. For example,
it may be possible to raise the crotch slightly.
