You are right. I'll correct that right here and now.
I've been working with type years ago. Must have gotten rusty.

The one attached to this post better?

Not really, this font is really weird: the 'u' is bigger than the 'm'..

I wouldn't say "not really" I'd say "yes!" Because it *is* better. It's not perfect, as you noted the 'u' is taller. Assuming that's not intended by the font, then it's less than perfect, but without the kerning issues.

Thanks Thomas and all the other KOffice devs, we really do appreciate your hard work!

This font doesn't look *that* good. 'b' and 's' seem to have more space around them than some other letters.
