problem with liberation fonts

[David Hláčik]

Well, but it is for sure problem with liberation-fonts, which are not
optimized for smoothing and apparently they are working on it ,
according to  the latest update of liberation-fonts which is currently
in updates-testing, where "U" letter is fixed, although it looks ugly
