Bug Description

Rendered in 26pt Regular

Based on #608823 I looked at various permutations of n, o and t. In this example the spaces between ho, ot, and tn seem highly inconsistent.

Bug 656108 probably should be fixed at the same time as this bug.

Recreating screenshot at 26 pt since the attached one was null.

There's possible also some at 15pt/16pt but it's fairly subtle.

Reproduced in 0.80 ... but this is indeed very subtle. Excluding whitespace inside the character bounds (since "o" is curved on both sides, and the cavity at "t"'s right is about equivalent), the gap is about half a pixel different between "ho" and "ot".
