Description Matthias Clasen 2012-11-27 20:48:52 UTC 
Hey, I was trying to improve the time rendering in the desktop by replacing the simpleminded : by ratio u2236. It works great for the lock screen, but the top bar reveals some issues with the ratio glyph in smaller sizes of cantarell bold. It basically seems a bit too bold, and somewhat off-center, horizontally.

If you want to play with this for yourself, open a font chooser with test entry, enter

15:20  15∶20

in the entry, and play with font selection and the size slider

The glyph was missing from Cantarell altogether. pushed the addition to git master. Can't test right now, so feel free to close if it works for you.
