[Devel] Some numbers smaller than some others (TTF, Type1)

[Sebastien BARRE]

Hi

http://barre.nom.fr/temp/type1vsttf.gif

The above screenshot displays the "Nimbus Sans" font (kindly) contributed 
by URW to Ghostscript (here, in Type1 and TrueType format).

I used Freetype 2.1.1 and FTGL to render it.

Does anybody have a clue why the '1' and '4' digits appear larger for the 
Type1 version of this font. And as far as the TrueType is concerned, the 
numbers are a complete mess. This is puzzling, since my contact at URW 
checked (with ATM) that there is no such problem in the font itself. I 
installed the TTF font and checked that there is no pb either when used 
from Microsoft Word. Hence I suspect Freetype :)

I will send the font to anyone ready to perform the test and have a look at 
this issue :)

Thank you.
Sebastien
