Public bug reported: The character "▷" (Unicode code point U+25B7, "white right-pointing triangle") takes up more space than other characters. It extends outside of its bounding box such that it overlaps with the character immediately to its right.
Please see the attached screen shot for an example of the triangle overlapping with the character 'M'. This triangle character is not the only one that is drawn too wide. U+25B6 is (somewhat trivially) another example. An even better example is the drachma sign, U+20AF, which overlaps the character that follows entirely.
