The fix has not made it to users of Hardy Heron. My test code above suggests it hasn't reached Intrepid Ibex, either. I looked at the FreeDesktop bug reports and it looks to me as if a workaround was put into Poppler, but that the underlying bug was not fixed. That bug appears to be that certain typefaces like "Nimbus Mono L Bold Oblique" are not actually monospaced, even though they are supposed to be. "Nimbus Mono L Bold Oblique" is identical on Hardy Heron and Intrepid Ibex. Would the correct solution be simply to correct those fonts, and look around for any other monospace fonts with the same problem?
