font spacing

I've solved the problem by changing the font hinting in Xfce (Settings->  
Appearance-> Fonts-> Rendering-> Hinting). If anti-aliasing is enabled and  
hinting is set to 'none or 'slight' then it causes problems in the Gambas  
IDE.  If it is set to 'medium' or 'full' then there is no problem. Most  
running apps are affected immediately by changing the hinting but the IDE  
apparently only uses the setting at start up.  Changing the hinting while  
the IDE is running has no effect. It took a while to figure it out because  
among the apps I use, only Gambas was affected by this.
