no, not xenocara, stock 4.1.  but the example i sent is not
even openbsd, i think this is uniform with gtk2 and it's
default font's "T".  i can't speak for xenocara systems
because i haven't tried it, but i think this is the case
on any system and any app (gimp, etc) that uses gtk2.

you, as someone who probably uses xenocara, could you please
have a look and post a screenshot of any gtk2 app that
has somewhere a word with "T" in it under xenocara?
i wouldn't be surprised if it was the same.
