Package: xfonts-base
Version: 1:1.0.0-6
Severity: normal
-- System Information:
The following fonts have an incorrect glyph for U+03BB GREEK SMALL
LETTER LAMDA. It seems the glyph was obtained by inverting the glyph
for U+0079 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y. That would be close for the variant of
'y' that uses a diagonal line, but that's not the one used in these fonts.

This seems to be a stylistic choice rather than a bug per se, so I'm
closing this report. There's now an upstream bug to track the
discussion, which is likely to be more useful than a debian bug.
