Hmm, unless I'm being hit by font caching issues, it appears that this
problem exists in the current version of the font as well as it's present in
Debian; i.e., this problem is not caused by Daf's changes.  So AFAICT, this
isn't a factor in deciding whether to accept Daf's changes into sarge.

The size issue would of course be an important bug, but also probably not
release-critical.
