A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Font rendering for the default font under Windows LAF looks strange, e.g. in JLabel. At least lowercase i and l look incorrectly aligned horizontally - it looks almost like an extra space character is rendered.

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 10.0.1

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the attached reproducer (FontBug) with sample labels.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Correctly rendered labels
ACTUAL -
Extra space in string rendering
