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. Cheers, -- Marko Myllynen
