What happens is that the apostrophe in the text is not an normal apostrophe
U+0027, but a "right single quotation mark" U+2019, which is not supported by
the selected font. The apostrophe shaped symbol one sees is actually taken from
another font ("glyph fallback feature"). Unfortunately when this other font has
considerably different metrics than the originally selected font this happens.
This can happen e.g. when the glyph fallback font is a CJK font with fullwidth
or halfwidth design. CJK fonts usually happen to be very good glyph fallback
fonts because they contain so many symbols.

The solution is easy, we should just implement "auto glyph fallback", where a
codepoint that is not supported by the selected font is approximated by a
similar codepoint of this same font first. If the font doesn't support the
similar codepoint either the normal glyph fallback to other fonts should be
triggered as usual. I wanted to implement something like this for quite a while
but the priorities for this task weren't there...
