I can't test it now, but this is probably due to an

upstream change] to make some control characters visible. The
implementation changes them to the .notdef glyph, which is code 0. In our
port that transforms into a NULL character that is not added to the string
and we get characters and advances out of sync.
We could revert that or change the 0 (either there or in FontHaiku) for
the replacement character, another non-character (that hopefully won't
have a glyph and so come as .notdef), the white square (as was proposed
when we had a similar problem before) or whatever. The same should be done
wherever we return the advances.
