Title:
  Monospace fonts have too much space between glyphs

Status in “freetype” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Monospace fonts in Ubuntu have traditionally had tight spacing between
  glyphs due to using fractional pixel sizes (through Pango).

  Commit b0962ac3 in freetype upstream has introduced extra spacing
  between monospace glyphs by forcing integer scaling of text metrics.
