2010-12-13 15:05:27 Paul Sladen description Binary package hint: ubiquity Apparently the larger text rendered in the Ubuntu Font Family has broken kerning/tracking in the installer slideshow. My presumption was that this are/were bitmaps and rendered via some convoluted Illustrator/SVG/Something output path, but this needs investigating vs. the same sample text rendered in a more usual environment. Apparently the larger text rendered in the Ubuntu Font Family has broken kerning/tracking in the installer slideshow. The relevant slides are HTML files that can be found in the 'ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu' source package at: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu-29/slideshows/ubuntu/slides/*.html This should be a manifestation of bug #617522 "does not use kerning tables at >20px (text-rendering: optimizeLegibility)"

It may be enough to set these.
