Ok,
There is a concept called Monospacing, and other concept called Kerning.

Monospacing: Each letter in this font has the same Width. So in pixels "a" will
have same that "m". This is the case of Dejavu Sans Mono and Liberation Mono.
Kerning: Is the space between letters. One guy discovered that giving same
space between letters looks odd, one letter could look quite close to other
letter as "sp" but giving same space to other combination "ll" could look as
they are quite far one from the other.

Here is a list of Monospaced fonts:

Here doesnt appear the Liberation Mono but is a monospaced too:

We could check if installing this Fonts in ROS and using them in FF makes FF
looks nice, if so, means we are not drawing/calculating correctly the
Non-monospaced.
