The problem occurs because the "m" glyph is too wide at that size.

Do you use the autohinter? If the answer is yes, then there is nothing we can 
do, the fix should be made in the autohinter, or in Qt, which should allow 
glyphs to be wider than the glyph width in monospaced fonts (Qt4 seems to be 
doing it right, but off course, we're still a long way from KDE4).

I can only see this effect at smaller sizes (8 and 9 ppem, which is probably 
around font size 6 on your screen). It should be fixed at those smaller sizes, 
but the problem you have occurs at larger sizes, and should not happen when 
the hinting instructions embedded in the font are used (i.e. when you enable 
the bytecode interpreter from FreeType)
