Bug Description
Waree is a fallback for the Tahoma font (/etc/fonts/
This makes websites that explicitly use the Thoma font look ugly.
I think the fallback rule should be removed.

summary: |
- Waree too high compared to Tahoma + Waree font too high compared to Tahoma |
The fallback is to serve browsing Thai web pages that explicitly use Tahoma, as Waree is the closest match we have.
However, I didn't aware of the existence of ttf-tahoma- replacement package, as I uploaded this package at Debian, where ttf-tahoma- replacement is not available.
Feel free to patch it as you think suitable for Ubuntu. I can apply that to Debian once ttf-tahoma- replacement is available there.
BTW, there is a newer package version (1:0.4.13-1) of thaifonts-scalable in Debian unstable which ships 2 LP bug fixes from upstream (LP #387872, #313427). It should be nice to have it in Ubuntu as well, if it's still allowed for Karmic. Otherwise, just patching the current version should be fine.
