Bug Description

Fillable form text is rendered with excessive spacing after certain capital letters, with J being the worst -- it looks like there's a full space before the next letter. I see this in evince, okular, and xpdf.

When the same PDF is viewed through gmail, this does not happen.

Attached screenshot of gmail rendering the same PDF with better kerning -- not perfect, but doesn't look like there is an extra space character.
