Bug Description

Binary package hint: ttf-liberation

Ubuntu 10.10 (and 11.04) uses version 1.05 of Liberation family fonts, even though version 1.06 was released in 2010-07-21.

Version 1.06 contains a serious update for the Romanian language.

http://goo.gl/D6YVV is not rendered properly with Liberation 1.05. I have attached a screenshot with the webpage rendered properly.

The Debian unstable version is the same as Ubuntu's: ttf-liberation (1.05.2.20091019-4) and this package seems to be synced from Debian.

http://packages.debian.org/sid/ttf-liberation

I'll forward this update request to Debian.
