Ah, sorted it! The video signal characteristics must be slightly
different and my monitor was displaying the image slightly shifted to
the left. There must have been a mismatch in horizontal positioning
between the physical pixel on the display and the video signal timing
for each pixel, causing a horizontal spread. Forcing an image adjust
from the monitor's menu resolved it!
Clearly, this offset wasn't apparent on an anti-aliased font, but was
very obvious on bitmapped font.
