period '.' is too large in ubuntu mono bold

[Luc Pi]

With Ubuntu mono BOLD, 9 period take 10 spaces

[Luc Pi (oluc)]

actually, with the same test case, 'i' has also size issue, depending on the font size

ttf-ubuntu-font-family 1:0.83-0ubuntu2

Font hinting related. Were some global defaults changed?

(In the screenshots, the text in the dialogues also appears quite strongly hinted).

oluc: please document *exactly* what occurs, and exactly which default/non-default font rendering options are in use?

[Luc Pi (oluc)]

In 'Tweak tool'> Fonts> Hinting, is set to full

with the same test case [1]

With Ubuntu Mono Bold,
with None or Slight, the text aligns
with Medium or Full, the text doesn't align

With Ubuntu Mono Regular,
With all 4 hinting levels, the text aligns

another font like DejaVu Sans Mono Bold, works with all 4 hinting settings
