I'm attaching a screenshot of Nautilus' About dialog. The copyright year looks wrong; the 2 seems too short. 6 seems to have a similar problem.

I was able to duplicate this issue in LibreOffice. At font sizes 10 or greater, '2013' looks fine but at sizes 5, 6, 8, or 9, I see the problem. Size 7 doesn't seem affected.

I'm using cantarell 0.0.13 on Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 Alpha.

This might be actual metrics being off as medium and strongly hinted glyphs mentioned are fine.
Comment 2 Jakub Steiner 2013-06-24 11:48:43 UTC 
Fixed in master, thank you for spotting.
Comment 3 Jakub Steiner 2013-10-03 12:20:18 UTC 
Reopening as '6' and '9' are still improperly hinted at 9px with slight hinting.
