When taking the latest screenshots I've integrated the gtk-set-font script currently used in g-i which changes default fontsize for some languages (bn, ar, fa and other languages); this has nothing to do with ttf-dejavu itself. As suggeste by Frans on IRC, I've just created new screenshots for dejavu 2.13 using this new per-language size change, so that comparison makes more sense: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/screenshots/20070203_dejavu2.13 http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/gtk-frontend/screenshots/20070202_dejavu2.14 > The problem with accents seems to be a more general regression.

I'll get in touch with upstream and hopefully come up with a patch ASAP: will post some news here in a couple of days and let you know how things evolve (will also file BRs to tack things more clearly). regards, Davide
