In DejaVu Sans Oblique, it seems there is too small kerning between the letters
r and n, making this combination look like an m.

This bug was originally reported at Openstreetmap:
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1335

However, the issue is not unique to Openstreetmap, and can also be reproduced
in Libre Office Writer.

Is there anything that can be done about this?
