Comment 3 for bug 685562

135 dpi at 7/8 pt makes this 13/15 ppem, this appears to be rendered with hinting enabled, so I can see the potential for tweaking it. Perhaps in the hinting for the node at the bottom-left of the £ would do with pushing out a bit, so that the rasterised shape has less of a curved/'C' appearance at smaller sizes; eg. more akin to the Hebrew bet ('ב') in reflection and a more definite corner.

maco: to confirm, please can you retake the screenshot with the magic '' character pasted in after each of the pound signs. This will confirm the hinting and ppems in use.
