Screenshot of the problem

Description of Problem:

I found a kerning error that leads to zero pixel distance between to letters. I
don't know enough about it to reproduce it with just any text, so my sample
text is in the (non-english) language I found the error with.

Consider the following:

MessageBox.Show("Es besteht keine Verbindung zum Server", "kerning test without
period");

MessageBox.Show("Es besteht keine Verbindung zum Server.", "kerning test with
period");

See the screenshot please.

It seems that the period at the end of the string determines the space between
the letters e and r in the last word "Server". The string with a period has
wrong kerning. Though the overall space seems to be sufficient for correct
kerning, the r was moved one extra pixel to the left and now touches the e.

I hope you see the point in that ;)

Additional Information:

Tested only on Windows. But I come along this error quite often with different
strings and in different winform controls.
