Bug Description

1. Copy and paste this line into the address field of a Web browser:
data:text/html;charset=UTF-8,<p style="font-family:Ubuntu;font-size:13;"> little</p>

Rendered in 13pt Regular

Sample Glyphs: litt

The spacing between letters varies so widely that it impairs reading. Look at the word "little". The "li" is crammed into a space smaller than the "t".

I /think/ that the tracking is correct, but it does look a little bit heavy. Perhaps someone from DaltonMaag can give a better opinion (this is on a recent MS Windows machine).
