[webkit-gtk] letter spacing issues

[Alexandre Leray]

Hi,

any clues about where this weird behaviour comes from?

The previous publication had this issue as well, and once printed it it
quite disturbing. I'd like very much to know if I can avoid it this time.

Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Thanks a lot!

Alex
