Thank you, James, for your detailed information. That text can be used as a
future reference for other bugs, too.

I'll try to explain the bug from another point of view.
As we know, in a monospaced font, the "m" letter occupies the same horizontal
space as a "C". Let's see the first attachment of this bug, and its problematic
texts, "Command prompt" and "Specify next point":
1) In the original PDF, a monospaced font is used in those texts. But in the
final view, the "m" does not occupy the same horizontal space as a "i", because
a "non-monospaced" font is used. 
2) But... the "reserved" horizontal space is the same for each of those
letters, as if a monospaced font was used (but it's not); that causes that huge
space after the "i" letters, and the correct space (a minor one) between the
"m" letters, for example.

For example, if a monospaced font was used in the final view, the problem would
not exist, there would not be those huge gaps after the letters that are not an
"m".

Excuse my English :-) . Thanks for all the good work!
