agreed, that's a Fedora specific issue not relevant here. But just for
the record, this is what I answered in the Fedora BZ:
The typeface didn't change but some individual glyphs were slightly
altered (for example to make the different accented variants of a letter
more consistent or to allow seeing more clearly the difference between
certain characters). Since there were quite a few single/double quoting
characters added, U+0027 was also slightly changed.
