Oh, but... I'm in my 22 ! <kicking the ball/>
This is font_string_width() which miscalculates the width. The Freetype stuff 
was supposed to help fixing this, but it's not finished.
The Windows port is especially easily hit by this problem, and IIRC there is
a bug report recorded in the GNOME Bugzilla.
I've got no clue how to make that work correctly, sorry (and I wish it was).
