Shows irregular kerning on youtube settings page

I'm using the GNOME browser (formerly known as epiphany) with webkit2gtk 2.10.0 on Debian Linux on a Macbook 13&quot; Retina. I've applied the patch from <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW - [GTK] Accelerated compositing should support hidpi"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=141782">bug #141782</a>, but now on many pages the font kerning looks wrong, with irregular spacing between characters. I found <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW - Font kerning in WebKit is quite bad"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=109955">bug #109955</a>, but I think this is a different issue because of the different OS etc, and the custom CSS suggested there made no difference. I suspect this is another problem with accelerated rendering. Could it be anything to do with <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_RESOLVED  bz_closed"
   title="RESOLVED FIXED - ASSERTION FAILED: typesettingFeatures &amp; (Kerning | Ligatures) in WebCore::applyFontTransforms"
