** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: ubiquity
- 
  Apparently the larger text rendered in the Ubuntu Font Family has broken
  kerning/tracking in the installer slideshow.
  
- My presumption was that this are/were bitmaps and rendered via some
- convoluted Illustrator/SVG/Something output path, but this needs
- investigating vs. the same sample text rendered in a more usual
- environment.
+ The relevant slides are HTML files that can be found in the 'ubiquity-
+ slideshow-ubuntu' source package at:
+ 
+   ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu-29/slideshows/ubuntu/slides/*.html
+ 
+ This should be a manifestation of bug #617522 "does not use kerning
+ tables at >20px (text-rendering: optimizeLegibility)"
