I’ve noticed that variable width fonts (such as Helvetica, Arial, etc.) don’t display correctly. Often there will be huge gaps between two letters in a word that’s big enough to look like a space has been inserted, breaking up words to the point they can’t be read as one word anymore. My workaround is to use mono-width fonts (Verdana for example), but it’s something that should be fixed.

Hi, not sure but I feel I’ve also have noticed this same problem.

For example, inside a note, if the text is set to “mris”. The display will be correct. But, if the font is set to bold, a big space will appear after the “m” as it a space character had been printed between the “m” and the “r”.

Hope it helps
