Hi Anonymous!

This problem is present in old releases of the font such as that of 20090104, so evidently you are looking at some older release.

But it does not occur in the last release of FreeFont of 20100219, which you can obtain here:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/
We strongly recommend the more recent version.

(By the way, the revision numbers you gave could not have been from FreeMonoBold or FreeMonoOblique: the numbers you gave are larger than the current revision numbers. Each font file gets its own revision number.)

It would be helpful to know: what system are you using, and how did you obtain this old copy of the font?

Since the report is against an old release of the product, the problem has already been fixed in more recent releases, I'm marking the report "Invalid".

Let us know if you see any problem with any recent version!

I’m not sure of the release.
I read Version $Revision: 1.165 $ and the file date is 2010-05-09.

In FreeMono Bold and FreeMono Bold Italic, the letter ʁ (U+0281 LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL INVERTED R) looks like ᴚ (U+1D1A LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL TURNED R).
ʁ (the first one) should be reversed.
