Description of problem:
When using Liberation Mono as a default monospace font in Firefox,
I have noticed that the lines of equal width (in terms of characters)
all have different width. It can clearly be seen on a screenshots that
I will attach shortly.

It took me about 15 minutes to understand it. I tried with Andale Mono and it
looks fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q liberation-mono-fonts liberation-fonts-common fontconfig freetype
firefox fedora-release
liberation-mono-fonts-1.05.1.20090721-2.fc12.noarch
liberation-fonts-common-1.05.1.20090721-2.fc12.noarch
fontconfig-2.8.0-1.fc12.x86_64
fontconfig-2.8.0-1.fc12.i686
freetype-2.3.11-3.fc12.x86_64
freetype-2.3.11-3.fc12.i686
firefox-3.5.6-1.fc12.x86_64
fedora-release-12-2.noarch


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure liberation mono is installed (rpm -q liberation-mono-fonts) and
available (fc-match 'liberation mono')
2. Open this page in your browser http://kir.sacred.ru/tmp/liberation-mono.html
3. Try increasing/decreasing text size (in case of Firefox use Ctrl with +/-).

Actual results:
Lines are of different width

Expected results:
Lines are of the same width
